Drought and water scarcity have become a major source of macroeconomic volatility, with particularly adverse impacts on agriculture, while the fallout from the recent earthquake points to the potential implications of natural disasters, including from climate change,\u201d IMF\u2019s Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair Kenji Okamura said according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Morocco is a strategic partner in the global climate fight: <\/strong>\u201cMorocco is well-placed to reap the benefits of the global decarbonization agenda.
