Policy coherence in the framework of Spanish-Moroccan cooperation in light of the challenges of climate change and migration

Resumo

Climate change and human mobility constitute a great challenge within those transnational contexts connected by migratory routes, as happens in the Euro-Mediterranean space and, especially, the Hispano-Moroccan area, the scene of emission, transit and entry of migratory flows, in addition of forced displacement due to climate variability and disasters. Therefore, our object of study focuses on Hispano-Moroccan cooperation, in order to assess the alignment of the strategic priorities of Spanish Cooperation with the objectives of the neighboring country and its initiatives against the consequences of climate change, especially emphasizing in the harmonization of these actions with international commitments and instruments. The results shed light on the planning effort and the lack of greater coordination mechanisms for a more effective investment in the fight against this phenomenon.
