The Moroccan Climate Change Policy (MCCP) marks the country's contribution to sustainable development through a strategic dimension and aligns with later endeavors like the country's National Strategy for Sustainable Development (SNDD). The adoption of Morocco's new Constitution accompanies this by promoting a sustainable economic development in line with the protection of the environment and geographic, heritage, cultural, and historical wealth.
The MCCP is in line with this approach and represents a coordination tool of the various measures and initiatives against climate change. It focuses on the following cross-cutting strategic pillars:
- Strengthening the legal and institutional framework;
- Improving knowledge and observation;
- Territorial declination (national objectives need to be implemented as Territorial Plans against Global Warming);
- Prevention and reduction of climate risks;
- Awareness, empowering of actors and capacity building; and
- Promotion of research, innovation, and technology transfer.
