Morocco has been ranked 4th in terms of global climate performance, according to the 2021 Climate Performance Index Report.
In this report released on Monday by Non-Governmental Organizations Germanwatch, the Climate Action Network and the German New Climate Institute, Morocco comes after Sweden, Great Britain and Denmark, a statement by the Ministry of Energy, Mining and the Environment – Department of the Environment said on Tuesday.
The countries that were the subject of this assessment (57 countries, in addition to the European Union) and which represent 90% of global greenhouse gas emissions, were ranked on the basis of a grid of 14 indicators in the following four categories: renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and climate policy, added the same source.
First in Africa and in the Arab world, Morocco owes this position to its determined contribution at the national level (NDC), considered among the most ambitious at the international level thanks to its alignment with the trajectory of a global warming of less than 2 °C, in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement as well as the efforts made as part of its energy strategy for the development of renewable and clean energy, the statement explained.
Morocco also received a high rating for its international climate policy, underlined the same source, specifying that the Kingdom’s strong commitment within the framework of the Paris Agreement, its active participation in global climate alliances as well as the ambitious regional initiatives that it launched under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, give it a leadership role in terms of energy and sustainability on the African continent.
In addition, Morocco has honoured all these commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in terms of reporting, notably by submitting three National Communications and two biannual updated reports on efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, noted the ministry.
