Air & Climate

A Greenhouse Gas and Voluntary Carbon Offsetting
The Greenhouse Gas® tool enables companies, organizations and territories to calculate their carbon emissions and implement action plans to reduce and offset irreducible CO2 emissions by carbon sequestration projects.
Footprint reduction tools
With the Foundation's Carbon emissions tool, any organization in Morocco can accurately assess its greenhouse gas emissions. The tool is based on a database of 300 emission adapted to the national context, updated in 2022, according to the Bilan Carbone® methodology set up with the help of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) and the Bilan Carbone Association (ABC)

To promote this tool and raise awareness of the fight against global warming, an Air Quality Pact was signed in 2016 with the General Confederation of Moroccan Companies. 24 of these companies volunteered to calculate their carbon emissions.Since then, new companies have committed to this approach and by the end of September 2022, 48 companies had signed the Qualit'Air charter, committing to calculate their emissions, reduce them and eventually offset them.

At the same time, with the support of the General Directorate of Local Authorities, the Foundation supports regions in the development of territorial climate plans. These climate plans aim to the development of regional balance for greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of supporting mechanisms to reduce them. Marrakech was selected as a pilot city for this new initiative.
