This article examines Morocco's approach to green budgeting, drawing on the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), with a view to integrating climate considerations into public financial management. It analyzes the progress made, particularly in the development of the legislative and institutional framework, medium-term budgetary planning, and oversight and transparency mechanisms. Morocco has also introduced tools such as the E-budget system to monitor expenditure. However, challenges remain, particularly in climate risk management, technical capacity-building, and inter-institutional coordination. The study concludes that strengthening green budgeting requires improvements to governance and monitoring tools, as well as the development of specialist skills, to support a transition toward sustainable growth that is resilient to climate change.
