Climate change: Entry point for regional peace in the Middle East

2 September 2021
Online

Climate change is hitting the Middle East region hard with unbearable temperatures, water scarcity, desertification and saltwater intrusion undermining local food production. After the recent eruption of violence the need to address underlying stresses of grievances of people living in the region is mentioned as a factor that deserves extra attention. The dialogue will look into approaches to combat desertification, dialogues over the Jordan river which is at risk of drying up and cooperation to provide more renewable energy.
