Facts & Figures

Germany’s population is about the double of Algeria’s. However, Algeria’s population growth rate (1.8 p.a.) is more than the double of Germany’s (0.2 p.a.), challenging local infrastructure, and especially energy supply infrastructure.

Algeria and Germany have committed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement. Both countries have a clear interest in supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: Germany’s emission level is decreasing, but still high, while Algeria is strongly concerned by the consequences of climate change (drought, desertification). The two countries are thus cooperating within international frameworks to promote CO-2 emissions reduction and transformation of energy systems.
