Integrating Climate Policy, Social inclusion, and Indigenous Knowledge: Toward a Holistic Approach for Morocco's Sustainable Future

Abstract

This study explores the intrinsic integration of climate policy, social inclusion, and indigenous knowledge in the context of Morocco's unique socio-cultural context. Despite their recognized individual importance, the literature lacks comprehensive insights into the transformative potential of this triangular approach. Based on existing research and theoretical frameworks, this study highlights the lack of exploration into how the interaction of these elements can foster effective climate policies and promote social cohesion. The detailed analysis highlights the need for empirical investigation to fill this gap and shed light on the complex dynamics between climate policy, social inclusion, and indigenous knowledge. This study aims to unveil unexploited potential for sustainable development by proposing a comprehensive framework that recognizes the interdependencies and potential benefits of integrating these dimensions. By filling this gap, this research contributes to academic discourse and policy formulation by offering insight into developing climate policies that embrace social inclusion and leverage indigenous knowledge for climate resilience in the Moroccan context. This study provides a roadmap for future studies to explore the complexities, nuances, and tangible impacts of this integrated approach in the Moroccan context and beyond, ultimately contributing to creating more informed and equitable climate policies in other countries.
