Morocco is set to receive a $200 million boost from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, aimed at advancing its climate resilience efforts. The announcement, originally reported by Le Matin and shared by the Chinese Embassy in Rabat, highlights the country’s growing commitment to sustainable development as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) program.
This financial support is designed to help Morocco confront the mounting challenges posed by climate change. A significant portion of the funding will go toward upgrading meteorological forecasting systems, enhancing environmental risk management, and promoting sustainable agricultural initiatives in rural areas. Special attention will be given to the country’s oasis ecosystems, which are considered especially vulnerable to climate disruptions.
The loan is part of a broader financial package that includes contributions from both the World Bank and the Moroccan government. Altogether, the initiative totals $900 million and underscores a coordinated effort to build long-term environmental resilience across the country.
