Argan forests in Morocco play a critical role in carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and rural livelihoods. However, their potential to contribute to climate change mitigation remains underexploited due to the absence of transparent carbon accounting systems and accessible carbon markets for local communities. This study proposes a modeling framework that integrates carbon...

The global drive towards decarbonization places a significant emphasis on industries such as the construction sector, which still accounts for 37% of emissions. For countries to achieve their climate change mitigation goals, particularly in regions such as Morocco, which is experiencing significant infrastructure development, the concrete industry must undergo a radical transformation. The...

In a global landscape characterized by environmental urgency (Wildemeersch, Håkansson & Læssøe, 2023), enduring social disparities (Missimer & Mesquita, 2022), and increasing demands for responsible governance (Al Rawaf & Alfalih, 2023), sustainability has emerged as a structural framework for businesses (Sandberg, Alnoor & Tiberius, 2023; Gadomska‐Lila, Sudolska & Łapińska, 2024). This...

This study was conducted on artisanal fishing communities facing significant environmental pressures due to industrial pollution in the city of Safi (Mrissa 1, Mrissa 2, Sidi Ghozia, Jorf Lahoudi, Essaouira lakdima, and the port area). It aimed to characterize the socioeconomic profiles of fishers, document their local ecological knowledge, and understand their use of marine species. A total...

The growing threat of environmental degradation has prompted renewed interest in the relationship between pollution and public health outcomes. Among environmental indicators, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions play a central role, both as a major contributor to climate change and as a proxy for the intensity of economic activities associated with health risks. While numerous studies have examined...

In the context of increasing climate variability, prolonged drought, and growing pressure on freshwater resources, innovative strategies for sustainable agriculture are urgently needed. This study evaluates the combined use of treated wastewater and biochar as an integrated solution to enhance soil quality and improve the growth performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum), under conditions...

The contribution of insects to pollination constitutes a globally important ecosystem service. Due to the increasing demand for entomophilous crops, the nutritional and economic importance of insect-pollinated crops and the inability of managed pollinators (Apis mellifera L) to meet the high demand for their services indicate that agriculture heavily relies on wild pollinators. Almonds are an...

Accurately estimating carbon stock in forest ecosystems is crucial for ensuring sustainable management of ecosystem services and addressing global climate change challenges. Over the past decade, methods for assessing carbon stored in soil and forest biomass have evolved considerably. Traditional approaches, primarily based on direct field measurements and simple statistical models, provided...

Hospitals are energy and carbon intensive, yet large shares of their thermal demand are rejected as waste heat. We evaluate a heat recovery retrofit for a Moroccan university hospital that captures compressor discharge heat from two chilled water plants to produce domestic hot water (DHW) and space heating. Using metered fuel consumption, nameplate data, and in situ measurements (including...
