At the African level, the 4C Maroc Center has finalized the prefiguration study of the Congo Basin Blue Fund which enabled the preparation of a pipeline of more than 200 mitigation and adaptation projects in the 16 member countries of this Commission, the statement recalled.

During the board of directors meeting, minister of Energy, Mining and Environment, Aziz Rabbah, stressed the need to mobilize to counteract the consequences of the economic and social crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the repercussions of which will be felt for a long time to come.

"While the world's attention is currently focused on the economic, social and political implications of the pandemic, we must not forget the other crisis that has been looming on the horizon for several years, namely the climate crisis," Rabbah pointed out.
