Overview

\"This book provides an overview of the geopolitical context and climate change risk profile of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region. Mapping existing scientific literature and key reports on MENA climate change impacts and future projections, Charles Egbu and Nuha Eltinay establish links between the COP26 regional climate adaptation financing targets, national government investments and local case-studies. They also address gaps in Disaster Risk Reduction institutional governance in the region. The authors move beyond the existing theoretical understanding of urban resilience to investigate how it is being measured and assessed in MENA in alignment with the IPCC's climate change adaptation indicators. Finally, they explore how the vulnerabilities of the communities most in need are being measured and integrated into cities' resilience action plans and national disaster risk policies. Providing guidance and policy recommendations based on empirical research and key stakeholder engagement observations, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars and professionals who are researching and working in the areas of climate change, urban planning and environmental policy and governance\"-- Provided by publisher.
