Morocco's experience of loss and damage management and finance: The case of drought
Open
Abstract

The Moroccan agricultural landscape is characterized by the cereal-livestock-olive system. Due to the arid climate, the total agricultural area of Morocco is only 8.7 million hectares, of which 81% is rainfed. The increasing frequency and intensity of drought events in Morocco is largely attributed to climate change, which is caused by human activities, notably its greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, the majority of the national territory will experience an average decrease in rainfall/precipitations of 10% to 20% (according to the 4th National Communication of Morocco).
