The present work consists in the realization of an exhaustive inventory of the sources emitting greenhouse gases (GHG) at the level of the city of Al Hoceima located in the North of Morocco, and this, in order to be able to measure the emissions related to the various components of use of the ground, while being based on the guidelines of the Protocol of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the inventories of the GHG emissions and by retaining the principal sources in connection with the sectors : energy, agriculture, forestry and waste. More specifically, this exhaustive and transparent inventory has been elaborated in order to establish a state of the art at the level of the city of Al Hoceima allowing to orientate the territorial managers in their choice of priorities to be retained for the reduction of GHG emissions. The necessary data were collected from several local state and private services, under the year 2019, a year before the containment related to the COVID - 19. The results obtained show that the main sector producing the most CO2 emissions in the city of Al Hoceima is related to road transport. This sector has produced on average over the year studied, 71.13% of total emissions with an emission quantity of about 147.86 Gg of CO2eq uivalent. The second emitting sector is energy, related to the production of electricity, wood and butane gas, which represents 21.47% of total emissions. Following the results obtained at the end of this work, concrete and sustainable solutions have been proposed so that the city of Al Hoceima can take advantage of all the opportunities related to its development and under low emissions.
