The European Investment Bank (EIB) and Morocco’s Railway Office (ONCF) have entered into a partnership to strengthen the resilience of Morocco’s railway network against climate change. The two organizations signed a technical assistance agreement aimed at developing a comprehensive strategy for climate adaptation and resilience in the country’s rail infrastructure.
This new agreement is a step forward in the long-standing collaboration between the EIB and ONCF, focusing on bolstering Morocco’s transport infrastructure while addressing the escalating challenges posed by climate change.
In a joint statement, both entities emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting its role in ensuring the sustainability of Morocco’s rail network in the face of increasingly extreme weather conditions.
The core objective of the partnership is to support ONCF in assessing and anticipating climate-related risks. It also aims to guide the design of infrastructure solutions to better adapt to climate challenges, while enhancing the overall resilience of the railway network.
This initiative is seen as essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of Morocco’s rail system as climate impacts become more severe and unpredictable.
For the EIB, often referred to as the European Union’s “climate bank,” this collaboration with the ONCF is part of its wider strategy to promote sustainable transport infrastructure.
