ABSTRACT
Recent model results suggest that not only is precipitation in North Africa likely to decrease between 10% and 20% but also temperatures are likely to rise between 2°C and 3°C by 2050 (Schilling et al. 2012). This is detrimental to the agricultural sector in Morocco, which accounts for 15% of GDP and 40% of employment, and which is particularly volatile and dependent on weather conditions. The dependency on agriculture and on water in particular is making Morocco one of the most sensitive and vulnerable countries to climate change (Schilling et al. 2012).
