This event brought COP30 insights home and translated global climate ambitions into concrete actions across the OCP/UM6P ecosystem. I spoke about climate finance challenges and opportunities for Morocco.
In Morocco, climate finance faces challenges related to limited long-term domestic capital, high perceived risk for private investors, and insufficiently prepared bankable projects, particularly for adaptation. At the same time, Morocco has strong opportunities driven by clear climate and energy strategies, leadership in renewable energy, and growing potential in green bonds, blended finance, and carbon markets to mobilize international and private capital.
Witnessing the 2008 financial crisis unfold in the United States was a defining moment in my career. This experience led me to transition towards ethical finance, which prioritizes the real economy, social welfare, and environmental sustainability.
This journey has since taken me across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where I have contributed to shaping financial ecosystems across various sectors, including energy, agriculture, healthcare, and water. These diverse experiences have taught me that development challenges are complex and require a holistic approach, especially when resources are constrained. I have also learned that prioritizing key issues, particularly climate change, is essential. Climate change impacts nearly every sustainability perspective, making it a focal point of my work.
In my current work, I leverage my expertise to confront climate challenges and drive the growth of green and inclusive economies, particularly within emerging markets.
