Algeria
Algeria is an overall low climate performer, as 40th in the CCPI. The country receives a medium rating in GHG Emissions, Climate Policy, and Energy Use, but a very low in Renewable Energy, in which it ranks lowest in this CCPI category.
The CCPI national experts are generally satisfied with Algeria’s current climate ambitions, but they identify major shortcomings in implementing these regulations in the country.
The country is among the 10 countries with the largest developed gas reserves.
In addition to Algeria’s complex geopolitical context, it faces domestic climate challenges, including increasingly occurring forest fires. While forest management efforts have intensified in recent years, the experts stress the need for expanded reforestation initiatives to restore affected areas.
Overall, the experts call for greater accountability from polluting industries and high-emission countries, alongside increased investments and stronger measures to bolster energy efficiency.
