COP22, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, was held in Marrakech from November 7 to 18, 2016. In the 'Climate Open Zone' — the space open to the public and civil society — Zero Zbel took the initiative to organize an unprecedented zero waste eco-festival.
Over 7 consecutive days (November 7-13), the association offered more than 45 awareness activities: practical waste reduction workshops, composting demonstrations, zero waste cooking stands, environmental documentary screenings, and discussion spaces with waste management experts.
The eco-festival carried the message 'Qoffa Mon Amour' (literally 'basket my love' in Darija), promoting the return to the traditional Moroccan basket as an alternative to plastic bags. This message rooted the zero waste movement in Moroccan culture and heritage, making the approach accessible and familiar.
Zero Zbel's presence at COP22 attracted attention from leading international media. CNN produced a report on the initiative, highlighting the commitment of Moroccan youth to the environment. National Geographic also covered the movement, contributing to exceptional global visibility for a Moroccan citizen association.
This participation at COP22 allowed Zero Zbel to build partnerships with international organizations and position Morocco as a committed and innovative actor in the fight against waste, beyond the official climate negotiations.
