The organization of Sustainable Development Week (SDD) was decided by the Prime Minister in November 2002.
Led by the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, and Spatial Planning (MEDAD), this operation aims to: inform the general public about the components of sustainable development (economic development, environmental protection, social progress) and their necessary complementarity: economic development cannot occur without social progress and environmental protection.
It also aims to motivate and support changes in behavior by explaining the good daily practices to adopt in favor of sustainable development.
