CLIMATE CHANGE AND DISPLACEMENT IN MENA
The Third Academic Roundtable on Climate Change and Displacement in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) was co-convened virtually on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 June 2021 by the UNHCR MENA Regional Bureau and Columbia Global Centers | Amman. Over the two days, close to 200 participants joined the discussion from 20 countries. The WANA Institute joined the roundtable which presented an opportunity to highlight the climate-related challenges in the region. It was particularly significant considering the rising level of climatic effects on the ground, with climate change being a threat multiplier, impacting displaced persons and the communities hosting them.
