MIT Technology Review Insights' Green Future Index 2023 third annual ranking sees progress wavering as atmospheric carbon levels soar - Seite 2

The unbearable weight of carbon. Economic over-reliance on fossil fuel production or natural resource extraction contributes to lower scores. Most Climate Laggards are weighed down by carbon-intensive industries. Australia is notable for beginning to free itself from a carbon-intensive economy. Its new policy-focused business incentives allowed it to jump 10 places in the 2023 rankings to 42nd place.

"As the world faces the critical issue of climate change, the Green Future Index provides a comprehensive analysis of how countries are progressing toward a sustainable, low-carbon future," says Laurel Ruma, global editorial director, MIT Technology Review Insights. She continues, "Although there are clear leaders in this space, the report also reveals some uncomfortable truths about the link between wealth and a country's ability to define its low-carbon future. However, we're encouraged to see that commitment to improving sustainability is not limited to high-income countries, with developing nations such as Argentina and Indonesia making significant progress."

"It's clear we all need to do more to combat climate change, and the Green Future Index can be a guide for policymakers and enterprises alike. As we continue to navigate these challenges, we must focus on driving meaningful change through policy work, innovative technologies, and reducing carbon emissions. MIT Technology Review Insights is committed to playing our part in this critical effort and we continue to support the development of a sustainable future for all." explains Ruma.
