Millennial and actors in the fight against climate change since COP22

It places education and awareness-raising issues at the heart of its mission, in line with the objective set by Rio Summits

MILLENNIALS AND ACTORS IN THE FIGHT AGAINS CLIMATE CHANGE-------------------------------------------------- Despite the powerful role they give to states, African millennials also want to act for the environment. 69% of young people surveyed consider waste management as the most effective way of combatting global warming. They also advocate the spread of recycling (65%) and limiting the use of plastic containers (64%). In Morocco, for example, the "Zero Mika" campaign was launched in June 2016 with the support of COP22, in order to contribute to a real change in daily behaviour and to thus adopt a sustainable development attitude. SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE---------- The fight against global warming also involves knowledge. Traditional media (television, radio, newspapers) are the main source of information for African millennials (48%), far ahead of the Internet and social networks (15%). It should be noted that schools and universities seem to have only educated 13% of African youth on climate issues.-------------------------------- THE MOHAMMED VI FOUNDATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN LINE WITH THE RIO SUMMITS OF 1992 AND 2012--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is partly to offset this deficiency that His Majesty King Mohammed VI created the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, of which he entrusted the presidency to Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Hasna.
