This study day is part of the implementation of the 2022 CRDH action program and the partnership agreement between the CRDH, Moulay Ismail University in Meknes and the Regional Directorate for the Environment.

This partnership agreement aims to involve stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental sectors, civil actors, professors and university students in a public debate on the environmental situation in the region.

Participants will mainly address the effectiveness of the right and its relations to the transformations of the oasis systems, the environmental situation, the integrated water governance, Oasis fires, and environmental pollution and the effectiveness of the right to health.

This study day will also include two workshops on the "Environmental Protection: Reality, Challenges and Solutions" and the "Civil Society and Environmental Affairs in the Draa-Tafilalet Region: What is the Contribution?".

Representatives from the governmental and non-governmental sectors, professors and university students, civil society activists, human rights defenders, and media representatives will participate in this event.
