MEI's Climate Change, Environment and Human Security Program examines the issues and interdependencies among human security, environmental health, and sustainability, as well as the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents to people living in the Middle East and North Africa. Land, water, food, energy, and climate security are key nexus issues studied within this program. Its goal is to enhance knowledge about the implications of these issues for the stability and prosperity of the region, with special attention on rural populations, women, children, and other vulnerable groups.
This week heads of state and government are gathered in New York for the UN Summits Week, during which five key summits are taking place to urge action on major challenges that continue to undermine human security globally.
