Climate Resiliance
Building sustainable communities that can adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts
Learn MoreAt AIDECA, our Climate Resiliance programs focus on supporting communities in the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change through sustainable practices, capacity building, and policy advocacy.
Morocco is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including increased water scarcity, droughts, desertification, and ecosystem degradation. These challenges pose significant threats to food security, biodiversity, and livelihoods, especially in rural areas where the economy depends largely on agriculture and livestock farming.
Our initiatives aim to strengthen local climate governance by building the capacities of local actors, developing participatory diagnostic tools, and promoting inclusive territorial policies that address climate adaptation needs while ensuring gender equality and social inclusion.

Building Climate-Resilient Communities
Our climate initiatives focus on empowering local communities with the knowledge, tools, and resources to adapt to changing climate conditions while preserving their livelihoods and environments.
Through the ASTA project, we’re working with five target communes in the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region to develop and implement participatory tools for climate risk and vulnerability assessment, ensuring that climate considerations are effectively integrated into local planning processes.
By combining climate action with social inclusion, we strive to create solutions that are both environmentally sustainable and socially equitable, addressing the diverse needs of all community members, especially those most vulnerable to climate impacts.
