The bottom 15 countries in the index are called "Climate abstainers", due to an inability to create and hold to firm energy transition and policy, often against a backdrop of fossil fuel dependency. These include Japan which, despite recently renewed commitments, is ranked 60th—the country is still weighed down by legacy industries and the shadow of Fukushima.
