The Kingdom of Morocco achieved a good ranking in the fight against climate change in the latest CEOWorld report for 2024
Morocco is deeply committed to combating climate change, an issue that particularly affects the North African nation. This is evidenced by the latest CEOWorld report for 2024, which ranks the Kingdom of Morocco sixth out of 63 countries assessed in terms of efforts to protect the climate
Morocco is a country committed to fighting climate change and is a leader in the Arab world in this regard, as indicated by the aforementioned report, which places Egypt at 18th in the world, Algeria at 50th, the United Arab Emirates at 61st, and Saudi Arabia at 63rd. Thus, Morocco holds a highly commendable sixth place among the 63 countries evaluated for their climate protection efforts. This annual CEOWorld ranking categorizes countries into four key areas: greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, energy use, and climate policy
According to the CEOWorld report, no nation achieved a very high position in terms of evaluation in all categories at once, but Morocco scored high marks in both greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.
Morocco has long been investing in clean energies for its future national energy market, aiming for 52% of the national energy to come from renewable sources by 2030.. A challenge that demonstrates Morocco's significant efforts to protect the climate.
Denmark topped the ranking for the third consecutive year, with high scores in emissions and renewable energies. Estonia followed in second place, excelling in renewable energies and aiming for 100% renewable electricity by 2030. Meanwhile, the Philippines, India, and the Netherlands completed the top five positions
The CEOWorld report showed that major economies and the largest emitters in the world ranked lower in the index. The United States ranked 53rd, while China and Japan ranked 47th and 54th, respectively; Canada ranked 58th and Russia 59th.
Morocco is a country plagued by climate change due to its geographical location and lack of rainfall, a situation worsened by the current global warming
The North African country is betting on renewable energies such as solar, wind, or green hydrogen to minimize pollution in terms of its energy mix, Achieving over 50% of energy production based on clean energies is a challenge for 2030 that the Moroccan kingdom is committed to
Furthermore, faced with the scarcity of rainfall, solutions such as water highways have been sought to connect various basins and reservoirs, and the implementation of desalination plants to use seawater for domestic purposes and crop irrigation, something very important given the significant importance of the agricultural sector in the Moroccan economy. This also contributes to climate protection and the challenge of maximizing the country's water resources
