Summary:

This discussion paper examines the complex interplay between climate change and regional instability in the Middle East. It highlights the region's vulnerability to rising temperatures, severe droughts, resource scarcity, and environmental degradation. These issues are compounded by protracted conflicts, governance failures, and the weaponization of resources like water. The paper explores how poor governance decisions and structural power dynamics exacerbate the impacts of climate change, threatening human security and increasing the likelihood of instability and violence. The author calls for policymakers to implement adaptive measures and strengthen governance to mitigate these risks. Intended for scholars, policymakers, and international stakeholders, the report emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated regional and international responses to address these multifaceted challenges.
