The years 2020 and 2021 were marked by the unprecedented covid19 crisis. However, thanks to the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, Morocco was able to manage the pandemic in a responsible and solidarity-based way. All segments of society showed commitment and were strongly mobilized.

At the Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency, we have adopted that very mindset to ensure green and sustainable post covid recovery. Accordingly, it is necessary to change the economic paradigm and shift to green economy so that we can successfully meet the challenge of the energy transition and the reduction of greenhouse gases behind global warming. The green economy offers as well great potential in terms of job creation for young people in the south and north of the Mediterranean and for our entire continent. Indeed, the number of jobs in the professions of the future related to the digital and green economy are expected to increase considerably, as a result of support and capacity building. The green economy has gained in importance during the pandemic, particularly in Africa, where recovery efforts must focus on areas such as access to renewable energy, sustainable mobility, decarbonization of the industry and of course energy efficiency.
