The Kingdom is represented at the conference, held under the theme “Four decades of environmental action in Africa: reflecting on the past and imagining the future”, through a delegation led by Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development Leila Benali.
Morocco’s participation in this 20th session reflects its firm commitment to actively contribute to defining and implementing ambitious African environmental policies, in line with the High Guidelines of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in favor of a sustainable future for Africa and for future generations.
The session, held until July 18, is a key opportunity to take stock of 40 years of regional environmental cooperation.
It offers African environment ministers the opportunity to examine emerging challenges, identify opportunities for continent-wide action, and explore ways of cooperating to bring Africa’s priorities to the global stage.
In addition, ministers and experts will review progress made in implementing the decisions adopted at the 18th and 19th ordinary and 10th extraordinary sessions of the AMCEN, as well as identify Africa’s environmental priorities for the 2025-2027 period.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the AMCEN, a special high-level session will be held on July 18, with the participation of high-level figures from Africa and worldwide, to examine environmental sustainability on the continent.
The special session will also result in the adoption of a declaration on the 40 year achievements of AMCEN and recommendations for meeting Africa’s environmental challenges in the future.
