RT null T1 Transboundary adaptation: Local and regional benefits in the Middle East – Case Study A2 Cornforth, Rosalind A2 Petty, Celia A2 Saggioro, Elena A2 Verhoef, Anne A2 Sellwood, Elizabeth K1 climate change adaptation K1 case study K1 transboundary environmental impact K1 Middle East YR 2023 FD 2023-11 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/43840 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/43840 NO The impacts of the changing climate are already being felt by communities across the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. As a result of the climate crisis, droughts – a historical feature of this regional climate – are becoming more frequent and increasingly severe. Scaling up land restoration via a cooperative and inclusive transboundary approach could help communities to adapt, while delivering both environmental and socioeconomic co-benefits at the local and regional level.This case study is part of the publication “Adaptation Gap Report 2023: Underfinanced.
