According to bank provided information, in its last National Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Morocco identified sea level rise as a critical climate-related physical risk. To address this, the Moroccan Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development (MTEDD) requested support to undertake a study covering: (i) how the expected rise in sea levels will impact economic sectors, such as tourism and agriculture; and (ii) priority adaptation actions and investments to respond to this risk.
Recognizing the need for a multi-stakeholder and multi-scale approach to managing the consequences of sea level rise, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), in collaboration with MTEDD, will support this request with an assessment of both sea level rise scenarios and the resilience of Morocco’s infrastructure systems and economic activities, with the aim of prioritizing climate adaptation interventions. This will be achieved through the following activities:
- a full sea level rise hazard assessment for Morocco up to 2050 and 2080;
- quantification of spatial hotspots of risk to exposed assets, populations, economic activities and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity;
- prioritization of adaptation interventions based on cost-benefit analysis, including emergency measures in particularly high-risk zones;
- communication of findings of the study via workshops to raise awareness and build in-country adaptive capacity across relevant stakeholders; and
- regional vulnerability maps and adaptation options to visualize high-risk areas and recommended actions in each coastal region.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD
The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.
You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en
