MENA Region Advances Climate Resilience Amid Urgent Adaptation Needs

Saudi Arabia is advancing clean energy projects as part of its circular carbon economy approach, allocating over $186 billion to implement 77 initiatives.

Speakers at MENA Climate Week highlighted the urgent need for climate change adaptation in the region.

Low-lying islands like the Maldives face threats like rising seas and water contamination due to climate change.

Financing for adaptation projects is urgently needed, with a mismatch between requested and allocated funding.

Promising collaborations and initiatives in the region address climate resilience, like integrated water management and ecosystem restoration.
