Marruecos y su apoyo al desarrollo sostenible

The international network of regional governments Regions4 Sustainable Development is organising the event 'Regions towards a resilient future: implementing multi-level action on the ground' on 16 June in Rabat (Morocco), in the framework of its 20th anniversary and its General Assembly.  

Since 2002, it has worked to bring the voice of regional governments to major global processes and events on sustainable development. This high-level session will discuss the current state of adaptation and resilience, and the importance of regional leadership for the resilience of our planet.  

The event will also present the joint statement of regional governments that will provide inputs for drafting the 'Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Declaration of Regional Governments towards COP27'. The event will be presented tomorrow at a press conference with some of the political leaders of Regions4.
