There is need for India to catch up on carbon efficiency developments, according to a climate change performance report. "National experts in India downgraded their country, which resulted in a drop of six places compared to the previous year," said the Climate Change Performance Index 2014 report by German watch and Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe which was released Monday at the UN climate conference here. The report ranked India at the 30th place among countries whose performance was "moderate" in lowering CO2 emissions. "The CO2 emissions are increasing relatively quickly in India. Its share of renewable energy is still good, but the development could be faster," the report said. Data showed that India was among the 10 largest CO2 emitters with the share of global CO2 emissions at 5.14 percent. While Denmark, Britain and Portugal topped the climate change index with scores of 75.23, 69.66 and 68.38 respectively, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan and Iran were at the bottom of the table with 25.17, 37.64 and 37.81 points. A total of 61 countries were included in the report.
