Spread the loveCharlottesville — Climate change is impacting water resources in Morocco, aggravating conditions as a result of both the environmental characteristics and social vulnerability that are present in the region. In addition to this, the ratio of renewable water resources to the population is less than 1,000 cubic meters per year. The effect of climate change will potentially be greatest in these regions, with the most northern mountainous regions showing intense sensitivity to extreme hydro-climatic hazards. Adaptive capacity is a system’s ability to adjust to and cope with damages caused by climate change, including climate variability and extremes. Rural agriculturalists living in poverty and other groups that face social inequality will be the hardest hit by climate change.
