Sources used to develop the ranking are:
• NDC Registry, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat.
• Biennial Update Reports and National Communications to the UNFCCC.
Additional columns are included with the categorization of countries used by:
• The Climate Change Convention, indicating Industrialized and Developing. Among the developing countries, 47 Least Developing Countries (LDCs) are also indicated.
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) country classification by income into high income countries (HIC), upper middle-income countries (UMC), lower middle-income countries (LMC) and low income countries (LIC). This categorization is based on the World Bank’s classification of countries by income, and was updated using the 2020 ranking, where 23 countries changed categories.
