Theoretical Review of Education and in the Promotion of the Green Economy and Sustainable Development in Morocco

Abstract

This paper examines how education and training in the green economy can represent a strategic lever for achieving sustainable socioeconomic development in Morocco.

The green economy makes it possible to create green jobs, reduce poverty, and strengthen resilience to climate change by encouraging the responsible use of natural resources. In this context, education and training play a major role, not only in raising awareness among younger generations about the environmental and economic challenges facing the country, such as water stress, natural resource degradation, drought, youth unemployment, etc., but also in providing them with the technical skills necessary for sustainable and innovative professions.

This contribution is based on a narrative literature review, drawing on the theoretical frameworks of sustainable development and human capital. It aims, on the one hand, to analyze the key role of education and training in promoting the green economy in Morocco, and on the other hand, to identify good practices and formulate concrete recommendations to strengthen green skills. By mobilizing the theoretical foundations of sustainable development and human capital theory, this paper highlights the need for a sustainable and inclusive educational model centered on environmental, technical, and entrepreneurial skills.

The conclusions show that green economy education and training can significantly promote youth employability, strengthen the country's competitiveness, and accelerate the ecological transition. Recommendations are suggested for better integrating sustainability into education and vocational training in Morocco.
