Morocco /// 1c /// Colonial context
1) How does your footprint reflect the economy of your country, including its colonial relations?
My footprints show the effect I have on my country, and thus meaning that I am partially responsible for what happens to
it.
Our country's economy is quite the mess, some cities are doing quite well because of certain organizations and projects,
such a COP22, which was in Marrakech, a major city in Morocco, last year. While some other cities are just becoming worse
and worse because of people's ignorance and selfishness.
2) How are the effects of climate change related with power imbalances among countries or within countries?
Power imbalance among countries and within countries is related with climate change by how productive and how rich a
country is. For example, with the U.S.A., one of the most powerful leaders in the world, joining the 1% of countries that
aren't in the Paris agreement , it'll make a lot more money through it's companies and enterprises but it'll make climate
change a much faster process along with China.

Hi Mohammed,
I do not know a lot about Morocco but am looking forward to learning about it through your school's posts. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on power imbalance among and/or within countries. What do you mean when you say how productive a country is impacts climate change? What are the reasons this is true? and how does climate change impact countries who produce less? Do you think that a response to climate change should reflect these imbalances?
