The emissions decline 7.7% in 2008-2009 was at least partly influenced by the European economic recession 2008-2009 and not only by the sustainable changes in energy consumption. From 2008 to 2009% change was in the US 7.0% decline and in Canada 9.6% decline.

A report was published in 2011 by the World Energy Council in association with Oliver Wyman, entitled Policies for the future: 2011 Assessment of country energy and climate policies, which ranks country performance according to an energy sustainability index. The best performers were Switzerland, Sweden and France.
