CLIMATE CHANGE PERFORMANCE INDEX, 2014
Australia and Canada are the worst performers of all industrialised countries
The new edition of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) was released by Germanwatch and CAN Europe in Warsaw at the UN climate talks today. The results show emissions worldwide have climbed to a new peak and no single country is yet on track to prevent dangerous climate change. http://www.fastcoexist.com/3022288/ranking-countries-for-climate-change-performance-and-why-the-us-is-just-43rd
