Switzerland climbs in climate rankings but still falls short of 2030 goals
Switzerland has risen seven places in the 2026 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), now ranking 26th out of 63 countries. The improvement follows new climate laws and updated emissions targets, though experts warn current efforts remain insufficient. Meanwhile, Denmark leads the rankings, with Brazil and Morocco also earning top marks for their climate action.
Switzerland’s climb in the CCPI comes after the introduction of its Climate and Innovation Act, Electricity Act, and revised CO₂ legislation. These measures have strengthened its climate framework, but officials admit the country is still off track to meet its 2030 goal of halving emissions. Acknowledged shortfalls persist, particularly in transport, aviation, and agriculture, where progress has stalled.
Switzerland’s improved ranking highlights the impact of recent climate laws, yet its 2030 target remains at risk. The report underscores the need for faster domestic cuts and reduced dependence on offsets. Without stronger measures, the country—and the world—will struggle to meet critical climate goals.
