How Can Climate Science Support Peace in the Middle East and North Africa? | Climate Security Series

Today’s episode was recorded live in front of a virtual audience and produced in partnership with CGIAR, the world’s largest agricultural innovation network.

It is part of a series of episodes that examine the relationship between climate and security.

I moderate a panel discussion in which experts discuss how climate science can encourage and support peace in the Middle east and north Africa. The episode kicks off with some introductory remarks by Aly Abousabaa Regional Director for Central and West Asia and North Africa CGIAR, and the Director-
General of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas.

I then introduce the panel and moderate a lively discussion about climate security and peace in the Middle East and North Africa.
