Principal risks in Morocco
Morocco is exposed to a variety of risks of natural, industrial or human-induced origin. Among these risks, the greatest in terms of potential impact on the human population and economy, are floods, drought, earthquakes and tsunami. These risks could affect numerous regions across the country. This chapter provides an overview of the main risks threatening Morocco and it examines their corresponding socio-economic vulnerabilities. Factors aggravating these vulnerabilities – such as climate change – must be taken into consideration in the future. These risks are therefore of growing concern for Morocco.
