9 PAGE 8 OF May Due to strong impact of climate change during the last 30 years, Morocco has resolutely adopted an integrated approach to fight climate change. This political is reflected in the Charter for the Environment and Sustainable Development, resulting from a broad-based consultation process. In operational terms, several sectoral national development strategies followed, in order to transition towards a low carbon economy trajectory (9GW Renewable Energy Strategy; etc.). Morocco s INDC key sectors are water, green energy, forestry, agriculture, urban planning, transport and waste management (table below sums up NDC areas). Specifically, implementation of mitigation options in the INDC will allow Morocco avoid 401 MteqCO2 ( ), while strengthening the Kingdom s ability to adapt to climate change. NDC implementation requires an investment budget of US$ 38 billion over 15 years. Obviously, the Kingdom cannot implement this ambitious portfolio alone and must rely on partnerships with climate funds such as the GCF to succeed in financing its climate-smart objectives. Given the diversity of challenges and importance of aligning the GCF with existing climate finance initiatives supporting Morocco NDC, Morocco seeks readiness support for finalizing the NDA establishment and strengthening its capacity in order to effectively fulfil its GCF-related tasks (A1) and develop a country framework (A2) to engage effectively with the GCF. The country programme developed in the context of this GCF grant will take into account INDC s priorities and ensure that the climate-smart investment priorities submitted to the GCF as part of the country programme allow achieving INDC s objectives.
