Climate Change Adaptation in Industrial Areas in Morocco

INDUSTRIAL AREAS: BE COMPETITIVE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY. CRITERIA FOR BEST PRACTICES | MEXICO Oct 2015

2. Private Sector Adaptation to Climate Change
Global project on Private Sector (PS)Adaption to Climate Change (CC)
Central America, Morocco, Rwanda, Bangladesh
Focus on Moroccan project on Industrial Areas
Climate Change in Morocco
Temperature raise, longer heat waves and droughts, less precipitation, sea level rise
Consequence for Industrial Areas
Water and energy scarcity
Productions stops & company shut downs – economic losses
Environmental disaster through floods and storms (e.g. contamination of soil) threat for public health
Overview about the global project by GIZ supported by Adelphi on Private Sector Adaptation on Climate change.
In Central America (Sector Tourism), Morocco (Industrial Zones), Rwanda (Business Development Provider, Private Sector) and Bangladesh (SME Clusters)
Focus on Morocco as the approach chosen in Morocco works together with the private sector in industrial areas
Focus on Climate Change in the frame of industrial areas:
Morocco is a country in the north of the African continent: phenomena of climate change such as heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfalls, increasing temperature
Consequences:
Temperature raise projected in morocco 3,6°C
Average 26 days longer heat waves
Less precipitation – 25%
Average 5 days more drought
Sea level rise cm until 2100

3. Action fields and approach
Action fields of the project
Sensitization
Capacity building & mainstreaming
Knowledge network
Bottom-Up approach (focus on existing industries)
Interviews with enterprise in industrial areas on Climate Risks (Vulnerability Assessment of selected IP)
Develop CCA Strategy for pilot industrial areas Ait Melloul, identification and implementation of pilot adaptation measures.
Generalization of the approach
Action fields
Sensitization
Capacity building & mainstreaming
(Financing mechanisms)
Knowledge network
Approach:
Bottom-Up approach, focus on existing industries (later generalization to integrate in planning process as well)
Interviews with enterprise in industrial areas on Climate Risks (Entreprises IP Managers, Private Sector Organisation) to benchmark the status quo
Vulnerability Assessment of selected IP: 1.Understanding Exposure and Identfying Risks, 2. Analysing and evaluating Risks, 3. Identifying and assessing adaptation options. (with the help of Enterprises & private sector organisations, IA managers and public partners, Planning agency)
Develop CCA Strategy for pilot industrial areas Ait Melloul, identification and implementation of pilot adaptation measures.
Generalisation of the approach (with the Moroccan Association of Industriap parks COZINE, IP Managers, Minístry of Industry

4. Summary – key thesis / messages
Climate Change (CC) manifests itself differently from place to place  regional case studies & specific vulnerability assessment are required to develop appropriate adaptation measures
CC will more frequently affect private sector in industrial areas in Morocco, CC Adaptation in necessary to prevent risks for society, the environment and the economy
CC Adaptation in Industrial Areas need to be considered at different levels
Private Sector (Company level)
Industrial Area (Park management)
Planning Authority/Ministry (Public Institutions)
CC Adaptation can be only successful approached in a holistic way
Climate change manifests itself differently from place to place – that is why regional case studies are important to identify the specific risk and develop adaptation measures that are appropriated to the threatened entity.
In the frame of Morocco with focus on private sector in industrial zones, the consideration of climate change adaptation in industrial areas is crucial to guarantee sustainability and profitability of industrial development. With increasing impact of climate change in general, also industrial areas get more frequently affected. Adaptation strategies and measures in IA thus are becoming an important topic to sustain a sound business. Without adaptation strategies environmental degradation, threats to the society (e.g. public health) and economic loss will increase.
Climate Change Adaptation in Industrial Areas needs to be considered on different levels to be successfully implemented: Private sector (company level), Industrial Areas (Park management level), Planning authority/Ministery (political level to implement CCA in planning and retrofitting processes.)
This approach is complementary to what Dr. Brulez outlined about CCA in industrial areas in India, coming from the planning authority point of view. Climate Change adaptation can only be successful when it is approached in a holistic way from different levels and point of views.
