Morocco is a regional leader in renewable energy development. The country's success stems from its multi-faceted green energy ecosystem that is giving rise to international renewable energy export supply chains based on production of green hydrogen,
The article from the Middle East Institute discusses how Morocco's push towards renewable energy and new green industries presents significant opportunities for expanding economic participation among women and youth. It highlights that Morocco has set ambitious targets for renewable energy, aiming for 52% of its installed electricity production capacity from renewable sources by 2030. This shift not only addresses environmental concerns but also aims to foster economic diversification and job creation. The article points out that while these sectors could potentially reduce gender and age disparities in employment, current participation rates of women and youth in these industries remain low due to various socio-economic barriers. Initiatives like training programs, inclusive policies, and targeted support for women and young entrepreneurs are suggested to harness the full potential of these demographics in driving Morocco's green transition. The piece emphasizes the need for policy interventions to ensure that the benefits of green growth are equitably distributed, promoting not just economic but also social sustainability.
