Concerning climate change, the overwhelming majority view it as a real threat to the kingdom, with 78% stating so, compared to 12% who did not consider it a threat, and 10% who did not define their position.
As for Moroccans’ awareness of environmental issues and climate change, 63% indicated they have “moderate awareness,” 5% described themselves as having “great awareness,” while 4% reported very low knowledge, with 28% choosing the response “I don’t know,” reflecting uncertainty about their level of understanding.
The report highlighted the top environmental challenges facing Morocco over the past five years, with 47% citing drought and reduced rainfall as the primary challenge, followed by extreme heat waves at 23%, air pollution and waste management at 15%, and floods and desertification at 6%, while 2% expressed uncertainty.
The results indicate that water scarcity and climate-related phenomena are the most pressing environmental priorities for Moroccans, while issues of pollution and waste rank lower on the urgency scale.
