The Middle East and North Africa region is well known for its abundant natural resources and important geostrategic position. This image is often overshadowed by on-going sectarian violence and trans-boundary conflicts that threaten the stability of the entire region with huge global implications. Although the region’s fragile state of the environment has increasingly preoccupied policymakers in individual countries, there is as yet insufficient concerted effort for initiating collaborative action to address problems relating to its environmental sustainability. Despite the urgency of these challenges, there are very limited resources, if any, dedicated to studying MENA’s environmental sustainability. Environmental Challenges in the MENA Region includes contributions by experts and policy-makers concerned with the state of the region’s environmental predicament with the aim of addressing these problems with a constructive and forward-looking approach.
