The indicators have been selected for their bearing on national competitiveness strategies. The Climate Competitiveness Index combines two subindexes measuring climate accountability and climate performance in 95 nations. The paper demonstrates the feasibility of constructing a robust multi-country index of climate competitiveness. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the relationships between accountability and performance in the development of climate change strategies.
