يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقة برنامجه الأسبوعي "حديث الثلاثاء" لمناقشة موضوع توقعات تحلية مياه البحر في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا مع الدكتور جواد الخراز، المدير التنفيذي للمركز الإقليمي للطاقة المتجددة وكفاءة الطاقة.

يعد الماء العنصر الأساسي في الحياة بعد الهواء، بدون مياه لن تقوم للإنسان حضارة، ولن يستطيع زراعة الأرض، ولا حتى تشغيل المصانع. تشكل ندرة المياه تحديا للحياة وسبل العيش. في هذا السياق من بين 17 دولة في العالم التي تعاني من الإجهاد المائي والعجز عن سد حاجياتها التي تعتمد على الماء، 11 دولة تقع في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا، هذا الوضع دفع بلدان المنطقة إلى اللجوء إلى تحلية مياه البحر لسد العجز المائي، في ظل زيادة عدد السكان، والجفاف الناتج عن ارتفاع درجة حرارة الأرض والتغير المناخي.

اليوم تحلية المياه تمثل أبرز الحلول التي لجأت إليها دول منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا لتأمين موارد مائية جديدة وكدى لمواجهة الجفاف وعدم كفاية المياه السطحية وحتى الجوفية لسكان المنطقة.

نعود خلال هاته الحلقة إلى مناقشة مفهوم تحلية مياه البحر، الأغراض أو الأولويات المستهدفة من استخدامها، التكلفة المادية، أهم المشاريع المنجزة في دول الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا، وكدى العلاقة الترابطية والثلاثية بين التحلية الطاقات المتجددة و التطور التكنولوجي، أهم المشاريع المنجزة في المغرب، المحطات الحالية والقادمة، أهم المدن التي ستستفيد منها وأين ستوظف هذه المياه التي ستحلى، وأخيرا مستقبل الامن المائي في منطقة الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا، أسئلة وغيرها نناقشها مع الدكتور جواد الخراز، المدير التنفيذي للمركز الإقليمي للطاقة المتجددة وكفاءة الطاقة.

    This paper empirically examines the impact of exchange rate arrangements on current account imbalances within the African context. Following Friedman’s hypothesis (Friedman, 1953), we test the propositions stating that flexible exchange rate regimes limit the magnitude of real external shocks and permit smoother adjustments of external imbalances. Using a new de facto exchange rate regime classification, we employ two empirical methodologies to test this hypothesis: we first apply a ...

    The world economy has gone through several systems to determine a value between country’s currencies. After the Second World War and the so-called gold standards, major world economies engaged into a system of fixed exchange rate of currencies against the dollar and, the whole system was backed by the value of USD against gold. After the end of that mechanism known as the Bretton Wood system in the 1970s, major world economies decided to liberalize the system of international exchan ...

    The world trading system has been remarkably successful in many respects but is presently under tremendous strain. The causes are deep-seated and require a strategic response. The future of the system depends critically on reinvigorating the WTO and policy change in the largest trading nations. Important measures are required to sustain the multilateral trading system, and urgent action is needed to avoid a scenario where the system fragments. The worst scenarios will disrupt global ...

    On the eve of Britain’s exit from the European Union, the country is redefining its international approach. The United Kingdom has already taken action by becoming involved in new economic commitments, new trade agreements in Commonwealth countries but also from a diplomatic point of view in West Africa. While development aid remains a focal point of its intervention in Africa, it risks being undermined by the Brexit and its economic consequences. However, the United Kingdom is now ...

    The concept of a “Wider Atlantic” has been finding its way into mainstream discourse, as it is progressively molding into an alternative to the present-day understanding of transatlantic relations. The attention is being refocused to a wider geographic area around the Atlantic basin, which includes Southern Atlantic states in the policy and opinion-shaping conversation (s). With 23 states now comprising the Western Atlantic Coast of Africa, this continent has an ever-growing role to ...
