"The CCPI looks at four categories, with 14 indicators: Greenhouse gas emissions (40 per cent of the overall score), renewable energy (20 per cent), energy use (20 per cent) and climate policy (20 per cent)."
Besides this, no other country performed very well in all the categories to chive a good ranking in the index. Following this, the top three positions remained vacant again.
Where Do Countries Stand?

India secured the tenth position in this top 10 list. India was rated high in CHGs emissions usage, climate policy categories, and moderate in renewable energy.
Also as per TOI reported China ranked at the 37th position. Last year it was ranked at 33rd. Also, the United States ranked at 55th position, Germany at 13th, and France at 17th marking the highest emitters presently.
