This study sought to develop a method to cluster countries based on their decarbonization capabilities and to determine how these nations’ reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has evolved over time. CO2 emissions clusters were identified using 11 indicators that measure both direct and indirect CO2 emissions, differentiating countries by their economic and population growth, energy consumption, and CO2 emission level. The panel data included 39 countries over the 10-year period of 2012–20
