Beschreibung
Climate change is reshaping Morocco's environmental, economic, and social landscapes, making the country one of North Africa's most climate-vulnerable regions. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges scientific knowledge, public policy, technological innovation, and local action.
Navigating Climate Change in Morocco: An Interdisciplinary Assessment provides the first comprehensive overview of climate change research and practice in Morocco through contributions from leading national and international scholars. The volume explores the country's major climate-related challenges, including water scarcity, drought, ecosystem degradation, biodiversity conservation, coastal vulnerability, renewable energy transition, public health, climate-induced migration, sustainable agriculture, tourism, circular economy, green finance, and territorial governance.
Combining environmental sciences with economics, management, engineering, social sciences, and public policy, the book moves beyond impact assessment to examine practical adaptation and mitigation strategies. Particular attention is given to innovative solutions, climate-resilient development pathways, and evidence-based policymaking supported by real-world case studies from different Moroccan regions, including comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories and territorial climate assessments conducted in Essaouira Province.
By connecting national priorities with local experiences and international sustainability agendas, this volume offers valuable insights into Morocco's climate transition while contributing to broader discussions on resilience across North Africa and other semi-arid regions. It provides an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, policymakers, development agencies, and practitioners working on climate change, sustainable development, environmental management, and resilience planning.
