The whole world is looking down the barrel of a gun who just shot a bullet at them. Instead of ducking so that it only grazes an arm, our governments are trying to headbutt it.
And here’s the rating system, though it’s a bit too few hard numbers in that text for my liking, for those curious - https://climateactiontracker.org/methodology/cat-rating-methodology/
Other than that I don’t really like that they call EU a country.
While I considering myself European I have never presented myself as coming from “the EU”.
The rankings of Climate Change Tracker and Climate Action Tracker are very similar as it exposes the countries’ level of (in)action. As all ratings they’ll have some limits, but both work with a lot of data and provide a very good overview imho. The CAT breaks down each country’s rating when you search for the particular country, including each EU country or the bloc as a whole.
Below the map in the linked site (here again: https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/) there are all countries listed according to their assigned group, from ‘critically insufficient’ to ‘Paris compatible’. Just click on the button of the country that interests you and you’ll see all the data. For example, here is Germany: https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/germany/

Yeah, here is some sort or rating which governments are headbutting even more than others … https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/

I must be stupid but search where? The Country view in CAT seems to only have Germany as an EU member, the rest are nonexistent.

As mentioned Germany seems to be the only EU country that exists as a standalone.
