The G8 Climate Scorecard

The international climate change debate has gained momentum and the urgent need for action has become obvious. This action-oriented approach led WWF and Allianz SE, Dow Jones Sustainability Index leader in the insurance sector, to publish the G8 Climate Scorecards. They give a transparent account of the climate profile of the leading industrialized countries. They are intended to contribute to laying the groundwork for a productive international climate debate. The overall question is: How do the G8 Nations ensure the world’s long-term interest of keeping climate change under control and moving towards a low carbon economy? We also included scorecards for the five emerging countries, Brazil China, India, Mexico and South Africa to round out the picture. Ultimately, the G8 Climate Scorecards should help policy makers and a wider public to identify the path leading to a global low carbon economy.
