Over the last few years, the concept of the "balanced scorecard" as a means of rating the performance of a business has become all the rage. Now, the World Wildlife Fund has taken that to the next logical stage by publishing the results of a balanced scorecard for the G8 countries in respect of their performance on climate change. It accompanies the figures with an easy-to-grasp graphic of a powermeter marked into red, yellow and green zones.
It will come as no surprise to learn that the US has the powermeter graphic shown as firmly in the red zone for all but one of the measures in the scorecard.
The document is worth reading and is available here.
