Abstract
Over the past two decades, Morocco has been able to develop a political and strategic vision which has gradually considered the environment as a prerequisite for any public policies. The new approach aims to make the environment the cornerstone of sustainable development, and therefore, ultimately, of the birth of a new "green and inclusive" economy. This vision benefits from an exceptional impetus from His Majesty the King Mohammed VI. Morocco has therefore put in place a national environmental and sustainable development policy which breaks down into several priority areas, namely: strengthening the legal and institutional framework; environmental upgrading through programs dedicated to the preservation of the environment and providing financial instruments and systems in the service of environmental monitoring. In addition, Morocco, with its strategic north-south status, is actively engaged in the environmental diplomacy and multilateral cooperation. On the road to an integrated and sustainable human development, Morocco continues to deploy ambitious efforts in environmental communication, awareness and education. Based on the bidimensional classic model, Morocco has therefore developed a tridimensional/pyramidal model for the sustainable development. This, by integrating governance in the summit, and putting human being at the center of the new form, as an actor and a beneficiary at the same time. This manuscript presents an overview of the Moroccan model in all aspects of preserving the environment and establishing the second generation of the sustainable development.
Highlights
Over the past twenty years, Morocco has been able to develop a political and strategic vision which has gradually placed the environment at the heart of socioeconomic development
The new regional organization guarantees, in accordance with the Constitution (Chapter 136), the contribution of the population to “integrated and sustainable human development” [10]. The realization of these constitutional provisions saw the day light quickly with the framework law No 99-12, as the National Charter of the Environment and Sustainable Development (NCESD)[11], which explicitly guarantees the right to a healthy environment, the right of access environmental information and citizen participation in the decision-making process relating to the environment
The importance given to the environmental policy and the governance dimension is added to the classical concept to develop a pyramidal model, which could be an inspiration to many growing countries
