Morocco Showcases Its National Energy Transition Strategies in Stockholm

Speaking at a roundtable on the green transition and international climate policies, Mr. Medrek emphasized that Morocco, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has made sustainable development and climate diplomacy a central pillar of its development model and foreign policy.

The ambassador outlined Morocco’s flagship strategies in this field, including the National Energy Strategy 2030, the Long-Term Low-Carbon Strategy 2050, and the National Green Hydrogen Roadmap (2021). He also highlighted the country’s new energy and industrial policy, which aims to embed sustainability within value chains and foster the emergence of competitive, low-carbon, and innovative industrial ecosystems.

According to Mr. Medrek, the green transition is a global challenge that requires collective action, shared innovation, and genuine cooperation among nations.

The event, organized by the Embassy of Morocco in Stockholm in partnership with the Swedish think tank Mundus International, brought together several heads of diplomatic missions accredited in Sweden, as well as Swedish experts and officials, for an in-depth exchange on national and international sustainability and climate cooperation policies.

The roundtable featured two high-level experts: Magnus Nilsson, consultant and specialist in European climate, energy, and transport policies, and Mikael Anzén, Sweden’s Ambassador for Sustainable Trade and Innovation.

Discussions explored European climate policies, Sweden’s contribution to the green transition, legislative mechanisms for emission reduction, challenges related to carbon sequestration, and industrial strategies aimed at achieving climate neutrality.

Speakers noted that Sweden has set more ambitious targets than those required by the European Union, relying heavily on technological innovation and carbon capture, and emphasized the country’s distinctive approach to sustainability, rooted in a culture of engineering, innovation, and pragmatism.

They recalled that Sweden’s energy model, based on hydropower, nuclear energy, and renewables, follows a long-term strategy to achieve an almost fully decarbonized economy. The “Team Sweden” model, which unites public institutions and the private sector to promote responsible investment and the transfer of green technologies, was presented as a key driver of Sweden’s economic diplomacy.
