Morocco carbon profile

Morocco emits roughly 70 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.19% of global emissions, ranking #47 worldwide. At 1.9 tonnes per person (#84 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+8%) and surged over the decade (+20%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 20% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Emissions are likely to stay near current levels through 2030 absent major policy change. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
