What was India's rank in the world greenhouse gases emission in 2022?
Explanation
The question refers to the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2022, an annual report published by Germanwatch, the NewClimate Institute, and the Climate Action Network. In the 2022 edition of this index, India was ranked 10th overall and specifically 10th in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions category. The CCPI evaluates 60 countries and the European Union, which together are responsible for more than 92% of global greenhouse gas emissions. India's performance was rated "high" in the GHG Emissions, Energy Use, and Climate Policy categories. Although India moved up to the 8th position in the CCPI 2023 (released in late 2022), the 10th rank is the recognized answer for the 2022 assessment cycle in major competitive examinations like the UPPSC Prelims 2023. India's high rank is primarily driven by its low per capita emissions and proactive climate policies.
