Au premier jour du WEEC 7 le 9 juin, tout le monde se mettait debout dans la salle plénière du palais des congrès de Marrakech, c’était la princesse Lalla Hasnaa qui entrait, elle fera la lecture du message du Roi qui donne son haut patronage au congrès. Autour d’elle au premier rang était présente, Irina Bokova, Directrice générale de l’UNESCO, Achim STEINER, Directeur Exécutif du PNUE, Lahoucine Tijani Président délégué de la Fondation Mohammed VI, Jan Eriksen Président de la Fondation pour l’éducation à l’environnement, Othman Attwiri directeur général de l’ISESCO, et Mario Salomone secrétaire du WEEC. Rare que nous ayons d’aussi éminents personnages autour du bébé EEDD. Tous disent « Transition vers une économie verte », ils invoquent : « un changement structurel des modes de production et de consommation », ils disent : « l’EDD est la clé » ou « il n’y aura pas développement durable sans EDD ». Le directeur du PNUE insistera beaucoup sur l’autonomie, il parlera de « l’autonomisation des populations » pour qu’elles puissent faire « des choix éclairés ». Il y a plus de 1200 personnes de 105 pays assemblés.

At the end of the closing ceremony of the 7th WEEC (World Environmental Education Congress), held from 9 to 14 June in Marrakech (Morocco), an Appeal was launched to emphasise the role of environmental education and the need to activate more and more political and economic tools in this sector.
The appeal was drawn up by a selection of the more than 1,800 delegates who attended this year's lavish WEEC (ten years old this year), which was organized by the Permanent Secretariat of the WEEC Network (chaired by Mario Salomone) in collaboration with the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Environment, the local organizing Committee.
A comprehensive document assessing the congress and the recommendations will soon be available.

To celebrate the Seventh World Environmental Education Congress (7th WEEC) the Moroccan Postal System has issued a commemorative stamp.

For the first time in the history of Moroccan mail, the stamp will be accompanied by an envelope printed on recycled paper, dedicated to the first date of issue.

36 NGOs coming from all over the World take part into the WEEC, an opportunity to meet and show them up.
Wednesday June 12th is the NGOs' day at the WEEC. Thirty-six associations, representing the 16 regions of the Kingdom, have been invited by the Foundation Mohammed VI for the protection of the environment to participate in to this world event, which includes more than 1500 participants, coming from several countries.
The environmental associations represent a quite recent phenomenon. Nevertheless, in a country open to the world, the media presence of environmental actors, especially since the Rio conference in 1992 and the COP7's held in 2001 in Morocco, a fundamental step in the long path of the international summits, have helped Moroccan citizens in understanding that they have a main role in the challenge against the global warming.
