INDC Project Actions and Impacts: Morocco

A large part of Morocco’s population, especially the rural and female population, is dependent on ecosystem services related to water, biodiversity, agriculture, and forestry. Climate change induced impacts and variabilities pose a major challenge to the country, hence Morocco has actively pursued various initiatives and programmes to transition towards a low carbon and sustainable economy.

To support this vision, the INDC Project provided assistance to strengthen national capacities to prepare, communicate, and implement its NDC through which Morocco was able to prepare its INDC in less than five months and to be the second African country, and 11th country in the world, to submit its INDC.
