Malta drops to 34th place in Climate Performance Index
Malta has dropped to 34th in the 2025 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), continuing downward from 29th in 2024 to 18th in 2023. While the country performs well in energy use, ranking 16th, it struggles with renewable energy, placing 44th due to slow progress in solar adoption and stalled offshore wind projects despite discussions since the 1990s. The government launched a National Policy for Offshore Renewable Energy in October 2024, but tangible results remain absent. Malta’s reliance on fossil fuels persists, highlighted by purchasing a diesel-powered plant in 2024 to address electricity shortfalls.
In climate policy, Malta ranks 34th, with weak implementation despite the establishment of the Climate Action Authority in 2024. Subsidies aimed at reducing fuel poverty, while commendable, inadvertently promote high energy consumption and waste. The transport sector also lags, with automobiles dominating despite free public transport being introduced in 2022. Bicycle lanes remain limited, although subsidies for electric vehicles have led to increased adoption.
