GREEN CROSSROADS: A SPACE FOR EXCHANGE, SHARING AND COLLABORATION
The Green Crossroads conference is a strategic dialogue space dedicated to the Kingdom's transition to a green and inclusive economy. Having brought together more than 800 participants over its three editions, this event has established itself as a key platform to present progress on the PAGE programme and strengthen synergies between national and international stakeholders.
Beyond diagnostics, these meetings foster the emergence of priority actions and high-impact initiatives. Building on national partners' expectations, they enable UN agencies to align their interventions with Morocco's strategic sustainable development priorities.
2022
Officially launched in Rabat on 22 November 2022, the Green Crossroads conference mobilised institutional, private and international actors around the priorities of the PAGE programme in Morocco, under the theme: the green economy in Morocco: challenges and opportunities of good governance.
The event presented the national scoping study targeting strategic sectors and served as a reference to structure the main thematic sessions, in particular on water management, energy transition, plastic pollution, waste management, biodiversity mainstreaming, taxation and green finance.
A true steering tool, this platform formalised a concerted action plan to lift transition barriers. This strategic diagnosis now supports the Kingdom's stakeholders in implementing a green, sustainable and inclusive economy.
2023
The second edition of the Green Crossroads conference, held from 24 to 26 October 2023 in Rabat, consolidated the dialogue between government partners, the private sector, academia and international organisations. This session marked a major operational milestone for the rollout of the PAGE programme in Morocco, under the theme: challenges and opportunities for the transition to a green economy in Morocco.
Structured around ten thematic sessions, the conference further explored the strategic sectors identified by the National Scoping Report, including green finance, education and awareness for the green economy, sustainable waste management, green jobs and just transition, industrial decarbonisation, the green city, water management, green hydrogen, biodiversity mainstreaming and plastic pollution. This edition reaffirmed Moroccan stakeholders' commitment to a systemic transition, aligning technical and financial solutions with Morocco's climate ambitions.
2025
Held from 19 to 23 May 2025, the Green Nexus Week established itself as a leading platform to accelerate the green transition in Morocco and Africa. This large-scale event mobilised the institutional and private ecosystem around a shared vision: Strengthening bridges towards a green and sustainable economy
The week was structured around two strategic pillars:

The priority themes addressed during the Green Nexus Week cover all dimensions of the transition to a green and inclusive economy:
- The macroeconomic dimensions of the ecological transition.
- Green finance and innovative financing mechanisms.
