South Korea Ranked As One of the Worst Nations In Response to Global Warming

First of all notice how they call this the Climate Change Performance Index instead of the Global Warming Performance Index.  This just shows how they have actual little confidence in global warming and instead hedge their bets by calling it climate change.  Regardless South Korea is supposed not doing a whole lot to meet global warming goals:

South Korea is getting a failing grade in its response to climate change, ranking among the worst countries in the world according to an international environmental organization and a nongovernmental research institute.
In the 2016 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), South Korea ranked fifth from the bottom, among 58 countries being assessed. The index was released on Dec. 8 – amid a conference of countries that are party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – by Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, an international alliance of environmental groups, and by Germanwatch, an independent German research institute.

While South Korea is 57th on the list, its actual rank is 54th; researchers left the first three spots empty to reflect the fact that no countries are adequately responding to climate change. This was two spots lower than last year and 23 lower than 2010.

These two organizations draw up the index every year by ranking the 58 countries whose greenhouse gas emissions collectively account for at least 90% of total global emissions. In assigning ranks, 30% of points are given for emissions levels, 30% for recent development of emissions, 20% for climate change policies, 10% for recent development of renewable energy and its share of the primary energy supply, and 10% for efficiency levels and recent developments in efficiency.  [Hankyoreh]
