Maximum of the future climate-related are related to global warming which is nothing but induced by human activity and predicted to be around 1.0°C over pre-industrial levels, with a likely range of 0.8°C to 1.2°C. If current trends continue, global warming would likely hit 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2030 and 2052. Climate related risks can only be reduced if we take mitigation, adaptation and resilience measures which are far reaching, multi-level and cross-sectoral. To combat the negative externalities of climate change, various governments throughout the world have begun to develop climate action plans. These strategies are implemented in tandem with their National Determined Contributions (NDC). But, more importantly, how effective are these plans? Is there anything in the policies that mentions sense of equity or community participation? This chapter includes a comparative review of such national and worldwide level climate action plans, as well as an understanding of the dichotomy and cohesiveness between them, in order to provide specific solutions to these problems.

The first phase in the assessment was to collect data from diverse secondary sources. The primary method was deciding which nations to select for further analysis. After digging through various publications and prestigious international websites, the climate change performance index was discovered, which conducted a comparative analysis of 60 countries plus the EU’s climate

“Human activities are estimated to have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels, with a likely range of 0.8°C to 1.2°C. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate” (SPM,2018).

3.2 Methodology

mitigation efforts who account for 92 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which has been published yearly since 2005, is an independent monitoring instrument for tracking the climate protection performance of 60 nations and the EU. The CCPI aims to improve clarity in international climate ideologies by allowing countries to compare their climate protection attempts and improvement. The performance of such countries in terms of climate protection is evaluated in four categories: GHG Emissions, Renewable Energy, Energy Use, and Climate Policy. Those countries account for 92 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Germanwatch, NewClimate Institute, and the Climate Action Network are the creators of the Index. Only the continuing support and contributions of around 450 climate and energy specialists make the CCPI’s unique climate policy section feasible, which evaluates nations’ national and international climate policy performance. As GHG emission is one of the main reason for global tempurature rise, hence reduction of GHG emission has been given maximum weightage (40%). Followed by this renewable energy an energy use category is having weightage of 20% each. Finally Climate policy indicators is comprises of 20% of the overall weightage which aims to determine whether the policies are effective enough or not (Figure 11).
