Morocco ranked 5th worldwide in the 2022 edition of the climate change performance index, behind Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the UK.
In the CCPI’s Climate Policy category, Morocco is part of many ambitious states that have embarked on their paths to climate neutrality, including the Scandinavian states, the Netherlands, Portugal, and France.
According to the report’s data, the country uses 30.70% of the GHG emissions, 17.20% of climate policy, 15.67% of energy, and 8.05% of renewable energy.
On the continental level, Morocco leads the ranking as the best-performing country (5th), ahead of Egypt (21), South Africa (39), and Algeria (53).
CCPI experts highlighted “the excellent potential for renewable energy production in Morocco as well as the many major projects underway under the Moroccan solar plan”. They also noted “progress in investments in the public transport sector and in energy efficiency regulations”. Weak points are nevertheless noted in the agricultural and construction sectors.
The report also mentioned that Morocco is recognized as an “ambitious leader” in international climate negotiations in terms of its commitment to respect the Paris Agreement.
The Climate Change Performance Index analyzes and compares climate change mitigation efforts annually across 60 countries around the world with the highest emissions.
This index aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and enable the comparison of mitigation efforts and progress made by individual countries, according to CCPI’s website.
