The Foundation’s fundamental mission is raise- awareness and education to sustainable devlopment.

In this mission, the Foundation is open to the entire public, from schoolchildren to political and economic decision makers, to the general public.

The Foundation develops awareness of environmental issues, the right to a healthy environment and sustainable development, as enshrined in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Through education and advocacy, the Foundation prepares future generations to take charge of preserving their living environment, and to engage themselves permanently in the path of sustainable development.

In rolling out its action program, the Foundation refers to the commitments made by Morocco at the Rio summit in 1992 and 2012, and Johannesburg in 2002, which the Kingdom specified in its framework law, the Environmental and Sustainable Development Charter, and the national strategies that ensued.
