In accordance with the provisions of the Circular from the Head of Government (No. 6/2026, dated April 23, 2026), which initiated the rollout of the Climate Budget Tagging "ECB" mechanism and following the capacity-building workshop on this same mechanism held on June 18–19, 2026 the Interministerial Working Group (GTI) convened a meeting on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Public Performance (MEFPP).
This meeting is part of the implementation schedule—as defined by the aforementioned Circular for this significant initiative. It aligns with the Kingdom of Morocco’s ongoing commitment to sustainable development, specifically in addressing the impacts of climate change by integrating environmental and climate-related considerations into public finance planning and management.
The meeting focused on presenting the results of the work carried out by experts regarding the climate tagging of the 2026 budgets for three pilot ministries: The Ministry of Equipment, Water, and Forests; the Ministry of Transport and Logistics; and the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, and Food Sovereignty.
The workshop brought together focal points designated by ministerial departments, members of the interministerial working group established to monitor the "ECB" initiative, and representatives from the Budget Directorate. It also included representatives from the technical and financial partners supporting this initiative, as well as experts who will assist the Budget Directorate and the pilot ministerial departments in carrying out the tagging process for the 2026 fiscal year.
Discussions focused on the results of the tagging work presented by the experts—conducted in accordance with the adopted methodological guide—as well as the key findings from the initial pilot phase.
