G8 Climate Scorecard

Five month before COP 15 in Copenhagen, WWF with Allianz presented report, which shows G8 performance on climate change actions.

The G8 Climate Scorecards 2009 measure countries’ performance and trends in areas such as development of greenhouse gas emissions since 1990, the distance to their Kyoto-targets, their share of renewable energies and the efficiency of their climate policies.

According to WWF opinion G8’actions aren’t sufficient enough to protect the world against climate change. The report shows that Germany, followed by the UK and France, is performing better than the rest of the rich nations’ group. Italy and Japan are in a lower medium ranked group. Canada, the USA and Russia are lagging behind.
