TunisiaThe European Union and Morocco launch their “Green Partnership” initiative
On 28 June, the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco agreed to build a Green Partnership together. The collaboration will reflect the strong political convergence of the two parties with respect to environmental, climate and sustainable development issues.
The work toward establishing the Green Partnership also underscores the importance of developing joint and mutually beneficial approaches in areas which the two parties deem to be priorities. It demonstrates the need to work together to jointly respond to the multiple challenges of the post-Covid recovery phase by promoting a gradual, responsible transition to societies and consumption models which are more sustainable over the long term.
The “green recovery” targets the well-being of current and future generations. It enables the planning of appropriate responses in line with Agenda 2030 and the sustainable development objectives. In addition, it will reflect the importance for the EU and the Kingdom of Morocco of implementing the Paris Agreement on climate change by placing the energy transition to a clean model, sustainable water and waste management, the fight against air pollution and the protection of biodiversity at the heart of their policies and investments.
