The Morocco of the green economy

Like other countries Morocco has adopted new strategic approaches to sustainable development. It is a transition to a green economy that respects ecological balances and is likely to open up new opportunities for wealth creation and sustainable employment. With its strong political commitment to sustainable development Morocco is resolutely moving towards the promotion of the green economy. A National Charter and framework laws on the environment and sustainable development have been adopted with the aim of placing all public policies within the framework of an NSSD. To succeed in the transition to a green economy the environmental dimension must be integrated into the various existing economic sectors and a new industry must be created covering the green industrial sectors. It is also a historic opportunity to position Morocco in new industrial sectors to strengthen its competitiveness by creating national champions for export in these technological fields and to contribute to the reduction of social and environmental externalities particularly in certain disadvantaged regions.
