This collaboration aligns with Morocco’s ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The partnership will provide technical assistance to develop a comprehensive climate change adaptation strategy for the Moroccan railway network. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the long-standing cooperation between the ONCF and the EIB, strengthening transportation infrastructure in Morocco.
The agreement focuses on assessing climate risks, developing adaptation solutions, and improving the resilience of the railway network to extreme weather events. The railway sector is known for its lower carbon emissions compared to road transport, making it a crucial component of Morocco’s climate goals.
The partnership supports ONCF’s commitment to building efficient and resilient infrastructure, reinforcing the railway’s role as a backbone of sustainable mobility. The collaboration will develop a long-term strategy to reduce future costs associated with climate-related damage and operational disruptions.
This partnership underscores Morocco’s dedication to investing in climate-resilient infrastructure and its commitment to sustainable development. By strengthening the railway network’s resilience, Morocco is taking proactive steps to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a more sustainable future for its transportation sector.
