The Quaternary, a period spanning the last 2.58 million years, is crucial for understanding the climatic and environmental dynamics that have shaped the modem planet. This article explores how data specific to Morocco fit into the global context of Quaternary studies, drawing parallels between local and global information to reveal significant trends and features. By examining paleoclimatic, geomorphological, archaeological and palaeobotanical data, the analysis highlights similarities and differences between local and global observations. The results show that Moroccan data, although reflecting global trends, present specificities that enrich the understanding of climatic and environmental processes at the regional level. This integration not only makes it possible to complete global models but also to identify the local impacts of climate change, thus offering a more nuanced view of Quaternary dynamics and the challenges posed by current climate change.
