Climate Change in the Mediterranean Basin: Impacts and Challenges in the Sahel Region

“The Impact of Climate Change in the Sahel on Human Security in the Mediterranean”

The Sahel zone, due to its geography, demography, as well as its level of precarious industrialization, is more threatened by the climate change than any other region of the world. The developments in the Sahel present as well direct challenges to the Mediterranean region.

The workshop will examine how the climate change combined with the strong population growth in the Sahel countries amplify the vulnerability and poverty of the populations living in this area, as well as how criminal and terrorist groups exploit the vulnerability caused by climate change to achieve their objectives and increase their activities in this region.

Senior Fellow Bouchra Rahmouni will be speaking on the impact of climate change in the Mediterranean Basin on the Sahel countries.
