A fundamental responsibility of public authorities, but also of all social and business stakeholders, is to ensure resilience to critical risks. Such resilience is needed to guarantee people’s safety and well-being, enable sustainable economic growth, and maintain confidence in public and economic institutions. Morocco is exposed to a number of risks that have an increasing probability of occurring. These risks are weather-related in particular, but others are of geological, technological or human origin. The sources of the country’s vulnerabilities have increased in tandem with economic development, against a backdrop of rapid urbanisation, a concentration of certain activities on the coast, and a growing exposure to the effects of climate change.
