Mohammed Mahmoud, director of MEI's Climate and Water program, will be hosting an affiliate event during the United Nation's first ever Middle East and North Africa Climate Week. The conference aims to provide an opportunity for a robust discussion on development in the MENA region and the current climate crisis in the hopes of identifying avenues for specific climate action.

The MENA region is highly vulnerable to today's climate change. What are the current climate change impacts for the region? What are the projected climate change impacts for the region? In addition, what are the strategies to curb these impacts from further intensifying? This side event will showcase concrete recommendations for the MENA region contributing to the UN conference's broader solution-based conversation.

Speaker:
Mohammed Mahmoud
Senior Fellow & Director of Climate and Water Program, MEI
