A new index, unveiled at the opening of the COP26 climate summit, ranks 32 developed countries according to their readiness to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Norway tops the list, ahead of Britain and Sweden.

The Net Zero Readiness Index 2021 measures the preparedness of 32 G20 countries to address climate challenges in the transition to Net Zero. This new tool was developed by the KPMG Impact platform, which helps companies build new models around economic, environmental and societal issues.
