EMPOWERING WOMEN TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE IN MOROCCO

A UK–Morocco research partnership driving innovation, equity, and resilience funded by the British Council’s Going Global Partnerships – Researcher Challenges scheme. 

GOING GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS

Going Global Partnerships supports universities, colleges and wider education stakeholders around the world to work together towards stronger, equitable, inclusive, more internationally connected higher education, science, and TVET.

The Researcher Challenges programme supports innovative international collaborations that empower EarlyCareer Researchers (ECRs) to address global challenges through equitable partnerships.

This project brings together researchers, mentors, and innovation stakeholders from the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Morocco to strengthen women’s resilience to climate change through research, technology, and inclusive innovation. 

 

Led by Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK and University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) in Morocco, the project provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, linking digital technology, social sciences, and environmental research to co-create sustainable solutions for climate resilience. 

WHY IT MATTERS

Aligned with Morocco’s national climate action goals, the initiative ensures that women are not only beneficiaries but active leaders in developing and implementing adaptation and mitigation strategies.
