ALGIERS — Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb reaffirmed on Tuesday that Algeria will cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 14 percent by 2035, and by as much as 31 percent if adequate international support is provided. He spoke at the opening of a two-day national workshop on climate finance and carbon markets at the Abdellatif Rahal International Conference Centre in Algiers.

The figures come from Algeria's updated Nationally Determined Contribution, the national climate plan that every state files under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Ghrieb said the latest version was sent to the convention's secretariat in August. He recalled that climate change has been written into the 2020 constitution and that the country adopted a National Green Hydrogen Strategy in 2023.

The prime minister said the state energy companies Sonatrach and Sonelgaz are central to the effort, through the development of solar power, an end to routine gas flaring and a target of zero methane emissions by 2030.

Ghrieb called for a larger role for domestic private companies, banks and financial institutions in funding climate projects, alongside foreign finance and investment. He also stressed the need for national capacity to measure, report and verify emissions, and said strategies should be judged by the projects they produce.

Turning to the international scene, he urged reform of multilateral climate finance, in particular the Green Climate Fund, through simpler access, more grants and concessional loans, investment guarantees, and technology transfer and capacity building for developing countries.

The message echoes an argument Algiers makes regularly: Africa accounts for a small share of global emissions, which is why Algeria presses for climate finance that developing countries can actually obtain. The government says it wants the workshop to produce practical recommendations that can be put into effect.
