This paper introduces Energy+ country performance ratings (ECPR) showing the progress of 153 countries in reducing the CO2 emissions intensity of energy consumption for the period from 2001 to 2010. Analysis reveals a diverse set of transition patterns at the country and regional levels. The overall results show a notable decline in red ratings. During the past few years, over 70% of the 153 rated countries have exceeded their transition path benchmarks, and around 40% have exceeded their rigorous Energy+ benchmarks. However the challenge will grow in the coming decade, as countries’ transition and Energy+ benchmarks continue to fall.
