The head of government Aziz Akhannouch will chair the Moroccan delegation that will participate, at the beginning of this week, in the 26th United Nations Conference of the Parties on climate change (COP26), in Glasgow, Scotland, from November 1 to 12.
The Moroccan delegation includes Mohamed Sadiki, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests, and Leila Benali, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, said a statement by the department of the Head of Government.
Delegates from about 200 countries will attend the summit to announce their commitments towards cutting emissions by 2030 and limiting the global warming, as scientists urging world leaders to take the needed actions to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Delayed for a year due to the pandemic restrictions, the 26th conference of the parties (COP26) needs to secure more ambitious pledges to further cut emissions, decide in billions in climate finance, and finish the rules to implement the Paris Agreement.
The united nation’s gathering’s guests agreed in 2015 following the Paris agreement to keep global warming “well below” 2C above pre-industrial levels, but since then, as extreme weather events have intensified, climate scientists have urged nations to aim for 1.5C to limit the risk of environmental disaster.
