Resumen
Descripción
The Near East and North Africa (NENA) is one of the regions that will be most affected by the impacts of climate change. Small scale farmers in the region are
among those most impacted by changing climate patterns and increased weather extremes, making them particularly vulnerable to natural hazards and changing climatic conditions and this is because, a majority of the agricultural areas in the Region are rain fed. Climate change thereby adds and intensifies existing challenges like population increase, water scarcity and increasing land degradation that leads to the rise in conflicts and distress migration; which requires coherence and convergence of humanitarian, development and peace actors blending short, medium and longer term interventions.
