The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Morocco signed a partnership agreement Friday in terms of technical and financial support to cope with climate change.
The agreement was signed by Moroccan minister in charge of the environment Hakima El Haite and FAO Representative in Morocco Michael George Hage.
It aims to exchange experiences to implement projects intended to strengthen capacity to adapt to climate change, to facilitate access to financing and to support Morocco’s efforts in organizing the 22nd Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakech in November.
Speaking on this occasion, El Haite said the agreement is an opportunity to take advantage of the FAO technical expertise to help Morocco develop and support projects related to adaptation to climate change.
George Hage expressed FAO’s readiness to support Morocco in the organization of COP22, noting that this summit will have positive impact on the protection of the environment.
