At the heart of the discussions, a panel on the theme “Carbon finance: what decarbonisation levers for companies?” highlighted the opportunities offered by new international mechanisms. On this occasion, Anas Felhi, Managing Director North Africa at the KliK Foundation, underlined the structuring role of Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, paving the way for high-integrity bilateral partnerships between States.
“This programme illustrates operational climate cooperation between Morocco and Switzerland. It contributes directly to the decarbonisation of the Moroccan economy and to Switzerland’s carbon offsetting objectives”, said His Excellency Valentin Zellweger, Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco.
Beyond its energy objectives, SR500 is a concrete lever to support Moroccan companies in their energy transition, combining economic performance, emission reductions and access to innovative financing mechanisms.
