In the Arab countries, climate change is a risk to poverty reduction
and economic growth, threatening to unravel many of the development
gains that have been achieved. The Arab Region is already suffering
adverse consequences from climate variability and change. This book
provides information on climate change and its impact in the Arab
Region, as well as technical guidance on climate adaptation options for
policy makers. The areas addressed include the economic impacts of
climate change (as measured by the reduction in household income and
GDP); the impacts of climate change on the water, health, and tourism
sectors; livelihoods and well-being in rural and urban areas;
biodiversity; disaster risk management; as well as gender and other
social relations.
The report is written through a participatory and collaborative
process, led by the World Bank in partnership with the League of Arab
States, incorporating both regional and international experts on the
topics.
