Workshop "Sustainability: towards a new development paradigm in the Euro-Mediterranean area"
Workshops
The Euro-Mediterranean University of Fez (UEMF), in partnership with the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed), is organizing a workshop on November 26, 2019 on the theme of “Sustainability: towards a new development paradigm in the Euro-Mediterranean area”.
This Workshop saw the participation of several researchers, experts, diplomats, business leaders and high-level specialists from Morocco and the Euro-Mediterranean region for a working session rich in debates and fruitful exchanges.
The concept of sustainability has established itself as a prerequisite for any model of development of States and organizations. The UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and the various COPs have anchored in people's minds the need to transform modes of production and consumption by adopting practices that are more respectful of the environment, nature, of man and living beings.
In the Euro-Mediterranean zone, Morocco is particularly involved in the challenge of climate change (organization of COP22, implementation of the mega project of the Ouarzazate solar power plant, active policy of promoting renewable energies and national strategy of sustainable development) and in the development of intense cooperation on this subject, particularly at the African level.
It is as a supporter of this vision that the UEMF took the initiative of organizing in collaboration with the European Institute of the Mediterranean a workshop in Fez on the theme of “Sustainability: towards a new development paradigm in the Euro-Mediterranean area.
In this context, various contributions ranging from strategic approaches to sustainable development, energy transition and the circular economy to participatory approaches and the dynamics of climate change are able to enrich this theme.
