Abstract
The objective of this research is to assess the performance of the European Union 27 (EU27), its regions and Member States (MSs) towards the Climate Action Sustainable Development Goal (SDG13) from the United Nations 2030 Agenda. To do so, we used the Alkire-Foster (AF) method, developing the Multidimensional Climate Action Index (MCAI) framework. Results show that the EU27 and its regions are not performing satisfactorily. The individual composite scores of the MCAI framework revealed a better individual performance of individual Member States when compared to their group performances. There is a relationship between high level of GDP per capita and satisfactory performance. Southern Europe and Central and Eastern Europe are the regions that perform most poorly against SDG13. Southern Europe, most exposed to Climate Change related losses, is suffering the greatest negative effects related to Climate Change. Central and Eastern Europe perform poorly in promoting social political awareness of Climate Change.
