Cet épisode met en lumière les défis et perspectives du secteur halieutique marocain à travers l’analyse du Pr. Abdelkabir Kamili. Il souligne que la durabilité des ressources marines n’est pas un frein à la croissance économique, mais une condition essentielle pour garantir la performance future du secteur, grâce à une gestion scientifique des stocks, la valorisation des produits et le développement d’une aquaculture durable. Face aux défis du changement climatique et à la volatilité des marchés internationaux, l’entretien met également en avant l’importance de la diversification, de l’innovation et du renforcement de la résilience du secteur.

Thus, green finance taxonomies are needed to provide classification systems that identify how environm ...
