orocco ranks eighth in the 2027 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), compiled by Germanwatch and the NewClimate Institute, two places lower than in the previous edition.
With no country rated well enough across all categories, the first three places remain empty. Denmark is fourth, ahead of Lithuania, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom, and Chile follows Morocco in ninth place.
The Kingdom receives a high rating in every category except renewable energy, where it is rated low. However, the pace of its solar and wind deployment earns it a high rating on the trend indicator.
The index’s experts welcome its nationally determined contribution, which targets an unconditional 21.6% cut in emissions by 2035, 53% with conditions, and a coal phase-out by 2040, subject to climate finance.
They note, on the other hand, that electrification remains limited in road transport, where battery electric cars make up a negligible share of sales, and consider improving the power grid essential.
