| Sumario: | The African Climate Change Policy Performance Index (ACCPPI) evaluates and assesses countries and regions in Africa in terms of their climate change policy performance. The ranking is based on four key scores which are: the greenhouse emissions score (30%), the renewable energy score (25%), the climate policy score (25%), and the corruption perception score (20%). This index fills a major research gap in the context of climate change policy performance. This index is the first index that provides a comprehensive outlook on the state of climate change policy performance in Africa. The initial results from a country perspective show that Morocco, Cape Verde, Angola, Senegal, Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia are the best performers. Regionally, North and Southern Africa are the best performers. This index provides and outlook of what is happening across Africa and where stakeholders must make more efforts. The ACCPPI will move the climate change policy performance debate in Africa from emotional and rhetorical evaluations to more data and evidence-based actions that facilitates climate change policy performance tracking and accounting. The tool is a first of its kind and will be a standard bearer for comparing and tracking climate change policy performance across Africa. It will be updated every five years to introduce new data and track new developments while influencing climate change policy across Africa. |
