Morocco has ranked 6th worldwide in terms of climate performance, gaining two places in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2026 compared to the previous edition.

In this international ranking, published on the sidelines of COP30 held in Belém, Brazil, Morocco is listed among the global leaders in climate performance.

The CCPI report assesses the mitigation efforts of 63 countries, as well as the European Union, representing over 90% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the report, the Kingdom’s position is explained by the “high” and “very high” ratings it received for its efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and climate policy.

Experts highlight, in this regard, the revision of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), as well as the plan to phase out coal by 2040, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

The report also underscores the significant investments made by the Kingdom in public transport and rail, supporting a modal shift and sustainable low-carbon mobility. It further highlights the National Strategic Adaptation Plan, which sets minimum performance requirements for new buildings.

The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an annual report produced jointly by the independent German-based NewClimate Institute and the German NGO Germanwatch, in cooperation with the international Climate Action Network (CAN).
