Drought scenarios could lead to GDP reductions ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 percentage points, while pluvial flooding could cause losses ranging from c. USD 9 bn to USD 10.8 bn by 2050 depending on its severity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Physical climate risks could affect multiple key industries:<\/strong> Agriculture-related sectors, such as crop and livestock farming, are particularly at risk due to the crisis, but other sectors like food processing and tourism, which are connected through value chains, could also suffer. Floods, mainly along the coastline where population and industries are concentrated, could damage assets and infrastructure, affecting sectors like transport, tourism, and agriculture, and therefore impacting banks with exposure to these areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Damages to the banking sector could be managed:<\/strong> The impact of climate transition risks on Morocco's banking sector could be manageable, due to Morocco's small contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.

Those include updates to risk analyses, improved data collection and building up institution capacity in the short-term by Bank Al Maghrib. Developing climate-related reporting guidance and indicators can also aid in monitoring risks in the long run. The Moroccon central bank should also integrate climate considerations into its supervisory framework, possibly through stress testing and regulatory guidance. Collaboration with relevant ministries, such as finance and energy, should also be prioritized to offer climate guidance and support the development of ins. markets to manage climate and disaster risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- Morocco is sparing no effort to support climate resilience: <\/strong>The board of the African Development Bank (AfDB) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/4cd2b37a-af1a-4a9c-a0f2-ed8d6d9bd1d5\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">approved last month<\/a> EUR 120 mn in financing for the first phase of Morocco's Governance and Climate Change Resilience Support Program (GCRRP) in July.

US imports of UCO in total exceeded 1.36 mn metric tons (mt) in 2023, up from about 400k mt a year earlier, according to US government data.

The startup\u2019s tech could help offer a clean slate to the global wastewater treatment market which is expected to exceed USD 500 bn in value by the end of the decade, CNBC reports, citing <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1199744\/market-size-water-and-wastewater-treatment-global\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista<\/a> estimates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">The method is simple: <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Gradient\u2019s method involves heating wastewater until it turns into vapor and leaves the contaminants behind.
