"Australia has again been ranked amongst the world’s worst climate wreckers,
reflecting a continued over-reliance on fossil fuels – as both a consumer and
one of the world’s largest exporters of coal and gas – in the latest edition of
an influential UN-backed report.
The 2024
Sustainable Development Report was recently published by the
Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), which assesses national
progress towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Australia received one of the lowest scores for ‘climate action’ – ranking
fourth-last out of the 168 countries that were scored in the report. Australia
was only ahead of Qatar, Brunei and the United Arab Emirates for climate
action.
Notably, the
Sustainable Development Report doesn’t score countries on their
future ambitions. The report scores each country against their
current impact
on each of the sustainable development metrics.
The SDSN scores progress towards ‘climate action’ by countries against four
core metrics, which reflect each country’s present impact on the climate."
