A/HRC/32/43/Add.1 would be needed with regard to mobilizing human and financial resources for the implementation of a genuine policy of inclusion and regularization of the status migrants. 28. As a result of that report, a new human-rights-based approach to migration policy has been adopted. The Ministry in Charge of Moroccans Living Abroad and Migration Affairs informed the Independent Expert that Morocco was developing a national system that ensured the rights and freedoms of migrants and refugees, in cooperation with relevant public institutions. An emergency plan had also been put in place to address the needs of about 18,000 migrants who had recently been granted residency permits. It was reported that 92 per cent of applications for regularization had been approved, although members of civil society had indicated difficulties in the implementation of the temporary measures at the local government level. The plan included the full integration of migrants into Moroccan society through education, vocational training, language classes and access to income-generating activities, in addition to equal access to public services. In order to implement the emergency plan, framework conventions had been established with the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training; the Ministry of Solidarity, Women, Family and Social Development and the Ministry of Youth and Sport, as well as the Office for Vocational Training and Promotion of Work. 29. Morocco has worked jointly with UNHCR to grant access to services to refugees and has responded positively to the influx of Syrian refugees. The 2013 mobility partnership with Europe, which is a joint policy to manage the movement of persons aimed at strengthening cooperation on migration and development, combating irregular migration, smuggling and trafficking, and implementing return policies has played a significant role in the policy shift by Morocco. The framework document setting up the mobility partnership specifies that its implementation should respect fundamental rights and the dignity of the people concerned, and should comply with duly ratified international instruments concerning the protection of refugees. 30. The new national migration policy also accounts for shared responsibility between countries of origin, transit and destination, and promotes multilateral cooperation with sending countries to address the root causes of migration, in coordination with the European Union and the International Organization for Migration. More activities to address the push factors in countries of origin have to be developed within the framework of South-South cooperation with the agreement of development partners. The role of civil society in implementing this policy shift has been crucial. The Independent Expert was informed that civil society had contributed to the preliminary discussions, as well as the design and implementation of the policy. It was underscored that all actors were consulted, including migrants in irregular situations themselves. The Ministry regularly met with a civil society council, and a seminar was scheduled to take place in March 2016 to discuss the role of civil society in implementing the policy on migration. The Independent Expert welcomes this initiative, as it may be a starting point for responding to the need for an enhanced strategic partnership between the Government and civil society, especially in monitoring the effective implementation of the new policy at the local level. D. National environmental policy and international solidarity 31. Despite its insignificant gas emissions, Morocco has chosen a production model based on clean energy and has made the green growth agenda a top priority, in line with its commitment to actively participate in the efforts of the international community to address climate change. To this end, the Government has developed strategies for the initiation of green growth in the sectors of energy, transport, industry, construction and solid waste. The various programme components are aimed at building a diversified energy mix, in which 10
