Cameroon and Morocco are joining forces to counter the effects of climate change. After signing a bilateral agreement on meteorology with Algeria in May 2023, Cameroon has announced that it will be stepping up its cooperation with Morocco to pool its expertise in this field.
The two countries, which are regularly confronted with drought and flooding, will be strengthening their resilience over the coming years. This is the result of an agreement signed recently between Cameroon and Morocco.
The main aim of this collaboration is to improve weather forecasting systems by optimising and calibrating the telecommunications system and databases. Natural phenomena are having a growing negative impact on sustainable development, with loss of human life and major material damage. To remedy this, meteorological services must be able, more than ever before, to provide early warnings, enabling decision-makers to take rapid and appropriate action. The Moroccan authorities, for their part, suggested that the aim of this cooperation was to provide a response to the expectations of the populations and sectors of activity on the front line of climate hazards, in particular transport, agriculture, and health.
