Green Economy for Sustainable Human Development in Morocco: Employment Creation and Innovation Challenges

The green economy is defined as a way to ensure human development, eradicate poverty, a source of social equity and preservation of natural capital. It thus appears as one of the means to implement sustainable development in a context where developing countries aspire to a higher standard of living. Morocco, one of these countries, faces challenges capable of being treated with the assistance of the green economy. The latter may provide Morocco with a new framework to strategically and sustainably rethink the Moroccan economic development. The green economy calls for the use of the environmental constraints as a lever for sustainable human development. This movement is realized through the revival of economic activity and employment creation in addition to the improvement of individuals’ well-being and the reduction of social inequalities. This article relies on the Moroccan case to analyze the eco-activities opportunities related to employment creation, critical factor in human development and the social security. We also discuss different opportunities of innovation that these activities offer in order to promote social, ecological, and economic interactions. The objective of this movement consists of developing a green economy. We focus on the conditions necessary for the mobilization of these opportunities, as they contribute to the creation of wealth and employment, for sustainable human development in Morocco.
