The Clima-Med project, funded by the EU, initiated a two-day workshop in Rabat where the project’s outputs and deliverables were presented, and their use and sustainability were discussed and promoted.
Representatives from more than 15 municipalities, Unions of municipalities, and several officials and associations joined to gain practical knowledge on preparing and implementing SEACAPs in the communes and understanding the available financing mechanisms to facilitate their access to essential financial resources.
In welcoming words, Mr Jean Francois Moret from the EU Delegation in Morocco highlighted the EU-Morocco Green Partnership, which embodies the natural framework for implementing the SEACAPs concretely. He insisted on the EU Delegation’s availability in Morocco to use the European toolbox (bilateral cooperation, access to financing) and regional initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors for the Mediterranean (CoM Med).
“This workshop comes in a very particular situation of climate change that our planet is experiencing,” said Mr Sentissi, “hence the importance of this event in providing us with useful tools for our cities in terms of access to energy and sustainable development and capitalising on the outputs of the Clima-Med Project”.
