Egypt
Egypt moves up two places to rank 20th in this year’s CCPI, placing it among the medium performers. Egypt receives high ratings in GHG Emissions and Energy Use, medium in Climate Policy, and very low in Renewable Energy.
Data reveal low per capita GHG emissions in the country (2.08 tCO2eq). At the same time, Egypt makes little use of its theoretically high renewable energy potential, as suggested by the very low share of renewable energy in energy use (5%) in the CCPI data.
Support and Implementation Are Key to Renewable Energy Uptake and Other Climate Progress
The CCPI country experts view the 42% renewable energy target by 2035 as a climate policy strength. However, implementation to reach the target faces several barriers. An atmosphere of financial uncertainty and insufficient support for importing renewable energy technology discourages private sector investments. The experts do not expect an updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) before COP30.
The experts demand climate finance and a clear strategy for Egypt to address implementing its national climate policy.
