حديث الثلاثاء : توقعات تحلية مياه البحر في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا

August 22, 2023

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.

    Les fonds souverains africains sont pour certains d’entre eux des fonds anciens, comme le Pula Fund du Botswana créé en 1994, d’autres fonds vont suivre, dont les plus importants en actifs sous gestion sont les fonds algériens et libyens. Et si la majeure partie d’entre eux, huit sur les onze analysés ici, sont financés par des recettes provenant d’hydrocarbures, tel n’est pas le cas du fonds botswanais (diamant), du fonds sénégalais (actifs transférés de l’état) et du der ...

    After a strong rising tide starting in the 1990s, financial globalization seems to have reached a plateau since the global financial crisis. However, that apparent stability has taken place along a deep reshaping of cross-border financial flows, featuring de-banking and an increasing weight of non-banking financial cross-border transactions. Sources of potential instability and long-term funding challenges have morphed accordingly.      Financial globalization is morphing after its ...

    The aim of this work is to contribute to the empirical literature on employment-GDP elasticities in four main ways. First, it provides a set of employment-GDP elasticities for a sample of emerging and developing economies, including 11 sub-Saharan countries, based on the GGDC 10-sectors database. Second, it assesses the extent to which manufacturing activities are inclusive compared to the rest of the economy, in terms of employment creation. Third, it explores the determinants of c ...

    India and Morocco have enjoyed a steady and fruitful relationship that continues to grow thanks to the trade opportunities between both countries. Indeed, the various agreements between India and Morocco yielded effective results for both countries who set a model of South-South cooperation that is also a win-win partnership.  Both countries share many common challenges as both are middle income countries. They have been enjoying sustained economic growth in the past two decades. O ...

    Dual transitions are under way in Cuba. The island is slowly opening its economy, and a new crop of younger political leaders, potentially more open to democratic norms, waits in the wings. A third transition, the rise of digital access, is also in an early stage. But it is this third transition that arguably has the most momentum and could significantly accelerate the first two. Cuba’s digital transition has largely been bottom up. The citizenry’s curiosity and ingenuity have push ...

    Endowed with half of the world’s known oil and gas reserves, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region became – particularly during the second half of the twentieth century – a cornerstone of the global energy architecture (Yergin, 1991, 2011; Maugeri, 2006). This architecture is currently undergoing a structural transformation, prompted by two different forces: decarbonisation policies and technological developments. The adoption and quick entry into force of the Paris Agreem ...

The AU is increasingly emerging as the continent's platform with foreign partners, and continues to face problems of dependence, governance and leadership. Therefore, in a critical and forward-looking a ...

    Les dynamiques économiques, politiques et géostratégiques actuelles, centrées sur les grands ensembles régionaux, annoncent une reconfiguration de l'ordre international dans lequel l'Afrique est appelée à jouer un rôle important et ce, à travers sa principale institution continentale qui est l'Union africaine (UA). Erigée de plus en plus comme l'interlocutrice du continent vis-à vis des partenaires étrangers, l'UA reste confrontée à des problèmes de dépendance, de gouvernance et de ...

    This paper reports on the recent developments in the construction of an interregional input-output matrix for Morocco (IIOM-MOR). As part of an ongoing project that aims to specify and calibrate an interregional CGE (ICGE) model for the country, a fully specified interregional input-output database was developed under conditions of limited information. Such database is needed for future calibration of the ICGE model. We conduct an analysis of the intraregional and interregional shar ...
