Questionnaire de cadrage

A newly published study finds that Middle East and North Africa (MENA) oil exporting countries are still not sufficiently equipped to grow and develop in a rapidly decarbonising world.  

The draft report explores some of the economic costs and trade-offs linked to climate change and climate change mitigation. The report addresses several of the key features of the Paris Agreement and then describe some of the links between climate change and the economy. These include possible impacts on agriculture, the global trading system, coastal regions, health care, and labour markets.  The potential gains to be had from climate change mitigation are also considered including the creation of new technologies and job creating industries, for example. The report touches as well on the idea of how carbon taxes might facilitate the shift to cleaner energy sources which is an essential prerequisite to reversing current warming trends. Finally, the report covers the potential for a US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and the possible consequences.

As highlighted through the work of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, transatlantic security is deeply affected by the security situation in the MENA region. The draft report identifies ways in which food and water shortages are intertwined with international security – humanitarian crises, migratory pressures, intra- and inter-state conflicts as well as food and water disputes. Moreover, the dire situation of food and water security in the MENA region is likely to worsen, due to demographics, climate change, as well as armed conflicts. The report examines adaptation and mitigation strategies undertaken by regional governments to contain the consequences of decades of resource mismanagement. Amongst these solutions, both supply-oriented and market-oriented solutions are identified, as well as investment in the agricultural sector and regional cooperation. A snapshot of steps to be taken by MENA countries to tackle their long-term challenges closes the report, underlining a necessary, but politically costly, trade-off between short-term benefits and long-term gains. 

The Sustainability Report focuses on three key aspects of our sustainability approach and work – impact, assurance and engagement. Within these three areas, you will find detailed information about our sustainability projects and initiatives over the last year.

This policy brief introduces the mitigation bonds and mitigation loans concept, and proposes a test of the concept in the ClimaSouth region of North Africa and the Middle East.  

A proposal for novel climate finance instruments was presented by the EU funded ClimaSouth project at the Regional Finance Cooperation Committee for Climate Action (RFCCC) meeting in Barcelona, Spain, on 26 May 2017. The RFCCC meeting, hosted by the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), gathered together several International financial institutions and donors active in the sector of climate finance within the Mediterranean region.

This report features a range of case studies on multi-stakeholder partnerships for disaster risk reduction. It outlines partnership models as well as developmental, economic political, and socio-cultural considerations. This report also presents a range of innovative disaster risk transfer solutions in different countries and regions. By doing so, it shows how insurers are contributing to different activities across the disaster risk management continuum—from understanding, assessing, preventing and reducing disaster risk—to disaster response and relief, disaster recovery, and disaster risk financing. This underscores why the insurance industry is a key stakeholder in building disaster-resilient communities and economies.

A project proposal to enhance the agricultural Early Warning System (EWS) in the Beqaa valley, Lebanon. The proposal is based on a comprehensive needs assessment, previously conducted by the Lebanese Agriculture Research Institute (LARI), in collaboration with the Lebanese Ministry of Environment and the EU funded ClimaSouth project. The objective is to improve agrometeorological monitoring to help attenuate damage caused by destructive climatic conditions and thereby increase farmers’ incomes. With a total budget of € 2,84 million, the project proposal is currently being presented to potential donors in order to secure funding.

The Middle East and North Africa region risks becoming uninhabitable in a few decades, as accessible fresh water has fallen by two-thirds over the past 40 years. This study by FAO showed that higher temperatures may shorten growing seasons in the region by 18 days and reduce agricultural yields a further 27% to 55% less by the end of this century. Fresh water now amounts to 10 times less per capita availability than the worldwide average. The region’s fresh water resources are among the lowest in the world, and are expected to fall over 50% by 2050. Moreover, 45% of the total agricultural area is exposed to salinity, soil nutrient depletion and wind water erosion.

The main objective of this paper is to assume a 100% RE-based system for the MENA region in 2030 and to evaluate its results from different perspectives. Three scenarios have been evaluated according to different high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission grid development levels, including a region-wide, area-wide and integrated scenario. 

The Global Status of CCS: 2016 highlights a number of significant operational milestones reached in 2016 and key projects that have either entered operation in 2016, or are very close to commencing operation. The Global Status of CCS: 2016 is comprised of five unique publications including a Summary Report available to the public and a series of reports developed exclusively for Institute Members. 

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report provides information for policymakers, scientists and engineers in the field of climate change and reduction of CO2 emissions. It describes sources, capture, transport, and storage of CO2. It also discusses the costs, economic potential, and societal issues of the technology, including public perception and regulatory aspects. Storage options evaluated include geological storage, ocean storage, and mineral carbonation. Notably, the report places CO2 capture and storage in the context of other climate change mitigation options, such as fuel switch, energy efficiency, renewables and nuclear energy. 

The Middle East and North Africa region is showing a growing commitment to the development of solar energy. According to the “Solar Outlook Report 2017”, released by the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA), total solar power capacity in the pipeline in the MENA region, combining both solar photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects, is presently estimated at over 5.7 GW. Among Mediterranean countries, leaders include Egypt which has an ambition to achieve 2.7 GW of PV capacity by 2020. Morocco plans to achieve 600 MW by 2019 and Jordan has 540 MV of solar PV projects under construction and aims to award an additional 200 MW during 2017.

SCIENTISTS TAKE TO THE SKIES TO TEST CLOUD SEEDING

The third edition of the publication REthinking Energy highlights how global investment in renewables has steadily grown for more than a decade, rising from less than USD 50 billion in 2004 to a record USD 348 billion in 2015. Despite the new records being set, investment­ levels­ are­ considered insufficient to­ meet­ current international­ climate­ goals. It is estimated that an average annual investment of at least USD 707 billion will be needed between 2016 and 2030 to achieve the required doubling of renewable energy’s share in the global energy mix.

Long-term modelling and tools to expand variable renewable power in emerging economies

Europe’s regions are facing rising sea levels and more extreme weather, such as more frequent and more intense heatwaves, flooding, droughts and storms due to climate change, according to a European Environment Agency report published today. The report assesses the latest trends and projections on climate change and its impacts across Europe and finds that better and more flexible adaptation strategies, policies and measures will be crucial to lessen these impacts.

Meteorological simulations, using the Weather Research and Forecasting model, indicated that the storm was associated with 'Shamal' winds, typical for dust storm generation in the region, followed by unusual wind reversals at low levels spreading the dust widely. These unusual meteorological conditions were aided by a significant reduction in the critical shear stress due to extreme dry and hot conditions, thereby enhancing dust availability for erosion during the storms.

A new proposal for financing Solar Water Pumping in the Jordan Valley was presented at a stakeholder consultation workshop in Amman, Jordan, on 5 December 2016

North Africa is a fascinating example of a hot spot of atmosphere-vegetation interaction. Theory and model experiments suggest that this interaction is highly non-linear. It presumably affects Sahelian rainfall variability. Moreover, palaeoclimatic changes cannot be fully understood, when atmosphere-vegetation interaction is ignored. Whether North Africa will become greener again, as our stone-age ancestors have witnessed, cannot be forecasted because of model uncertainty and because socioeconomic boundary conditions are not known for the next centuries. 

From Morocco to Libya, the desert oases of the Sahara’s Maghreb region are disappearing as temperatures rise and rainfall decreases. Facing daunting odds, local residents are employing traditional water conservation techniques to try to save these ancient ecosystems.

A new initiative was launched in Beirut, Lebanon, to promote the establishment of a Business Knowledge Platform with the aim to engage the Lebanese private sector in the transformational change towards a low-carbon global economy called upon by the Paris Agreement. 

Morocco’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is an improved version of the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) that Morocco presented to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on June 5, 2015

The EIB MED Conference: Climate Action in the Mediterranean - one of the most prominent fora on climate finance in the Mediterranean before the COP22 - took place in Rabat, Morocco, on 8 September 2016. The conference was co-organized by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), bringing together representatives from government and non-State actors (business, civil society, international organizations and financial institutions) operating in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

July 2016 was the warmest July in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York

An insightful look into the Basin's precipitation response to greenhouse gas forcing

This study investigates the links between growth, climate change, and conflict by simulating future civil conflict using new scenario data for five alternative socioeconomic pathways with different mitigation and adaptation assumptions, known as the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). 

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions (CO₂) – the largest source of man-made greenhouse gas emissions – stayed flat for the second year in a row, according to analysis of preliminary data for 2015 released by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The figures confirmed decoupling of global emissions and economic growth.

This paper recognises that climate action is needed at the international, regional and national levels. However, given the value of enabling communities to engage in setting priorities and the limited flows of flexible finance to the local level, the question researchers ask is how can the delivery of international finance be improved so it is more effective in reaching the local level?

A comprehensive guide on how to access the Green Climate Fund

MENA governments are prioritising investments in the power sector to feed rapidly rising electricity demand. The research estimate that in the period 2017-21, the region will need to invest $302bn in its power sector. Of this, $179bn will be needed to add 138GW of generating capacity, while the rest should be invested in transmission and distribution (T&D). 

Funding proposal for Irrigation development and adaptation of irrigated agriculture to climate change in semi-arid Morocco

This joint study looks at the potential for decarbonisation in the energy sector in G20 countries and around the world. Decarbonisation of the energy sector requires urgent action on a global scale. Around two thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to fossil fuel energy supply and use. Carbon emissions must be reduced considerably faster to mitigate the effects of climate change. To meet the climate goals set in the Paris Agreement and keep the global temperature rise to below 2 degrees, the carbon-dioxide (CO₂) emission intensity of the global economy would need to be reduced by 85% in 35 years. This means reducing energy CO₂ emissions by 2.6% per year on average, or 0.6 gigatonnes (Gt) per year in absolute terms.

The Daily Climate is an independent media organization working to increase public understanding of climate change, including its scope and scale, potential solutions and the political processes that impede or advance them.

The Daily Climate's aggregation represents the news of the day, irrespective of the opinion or viewpoint expressed, or whether or not material in the article is consistent with current science.

Using a combination of automated and manual searches, staff at Environmental Health Sciences review hundreds of mainstream news outlets, from center right to center left, daily to locate stories about climate change, including new scientific discoveries, causes, consequences, solutions, and politics

InsideClimate News is somewhat unique. It describes itself as "a non-profit, non-partisan news organization that covers energy and climate change — plus the territory in between where law, policy and public opinion are shaped." It is solution-oriented, which may give it a bit of progressive bias (it is a rebranding of the former SolveClimate.org). Also diagnostic is that it covers energy (the solution) as much as climate itself (the problem). The emphasis is on quality, meaningful journalism -- as may be evidenced by the fact that InsideClimate News material is republished by Reuters, AP, The Guardian, Alternet, New America Media, and High Country News.

The Guardian does more environmental coverage than almost any newspaper on the planet, and they send reporters to international climate events even when most other newspapers stay home. They have a boisterous and popular tone, a bit of a liberal tilt, and a predilection for cute puppy stories, but their reporters are serious and break stories others don't have the grit for. Being Brits, they do not suck up to the U.S. government.

Through combined efforts of board, staff, members and appropriate partners, the Society of Environmental Journalists offers unique educational programs and services, primarily for professional journalists, educators and students, including annual and regional conferences, tours, meet-ups and training events; daily EJToday headlines and summaries, with supporting links; Twitter feed from @SEJorg;  quarterly SEJournal; special editions of TipSheet and other publications; Freedom of Information WatchDog project; SEJ Awards for Reporting on the Environment; mini grants through the Fund for Environmental Journalism; members-only listservs; mentoring program; website-based resources; and a lively membership network of journalists and academics.

SEJ also acts to raise awareness among philanthropists, editors, news managers, publishers, and other key decision-makers in the media on the value and importance of environmental news reporting. Non-members are welcome to participate in SEJ programs, especially the annual conference.

Built upon research involving thousands of citizens in the UK, US and Germany during 2015, Climate Visuals is an evidence-based resource for climate change communication. The website centres on seven key principles for visual climate change communication, and contains a growing, interactive library of images to provide inspiration and guidance for journalists, campaigners, bloggers and anyone else using imagery to communicate about climate change.

The Center for climate change communication conducts social science research to identify opportunities to enhance public understanding of and engagement with climate change. It tests new approaches for enhancing public understanding and engagement with climate change. The Center partners with government agencies, associations, and businesses in developing and testing their public engagement initiatives. It also offers training of undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and working professionals in climate change communication research and public engagement methods.

Climate change poses a clear danger to lives and livelihoods across Africa. Journalists there have critical roles to play in explaining the cause and effects of climate change, in describing what countries and communities can do to adapt to the impacts ahead, and in reporting on what governments and companies do, or do not do, to respond to these threats. Yet research on public understanding of climate change – such as the BBC Media Action’s Africa Talks Climate project –  and surveys of journalists reveal that across Africa the media can and should do more to tell the story of climate change. UNESCO produced this book to help fill this important gap 

Climate change is not a new issue, but the need for meaningful and sustainable solutions is more urgent than ever. Climate communicators and mainstream leaders are still grappling with how to help find meaningful, actionable paths forward and overcome the social, political, psychological, and emotional barriers that have hindered progress on climate solutions.

This guide brings together both researchers and practitioners to consolidate the best insights and evidence about how to communicate effectively about climate change.

A brief introdution to the use of photographs to engage the public in covering the theme of climate change.

This report is the product of a series of unprecedented workshops that brought the nation’s top climate scientists and leading science and environmental journalists together to discuss media coverage and communication of climate change science. 

The goal was to improve the communication of climate change science. The workshops accordingly sought to increase journalists’ understanding of the modus operandi, mores and institutionalized culture of the science community while increasing climate scientists’ understanding of journalism fundamentals and principles.

A critical element in this approach involved an emphasis on respecting and preserving the essential independence and vigor both of independent journalism and of the science community.

A Guide for Scientists, Journalists, Educators, Political Aides, and the Interested Public

Climate Communication is a non-profit science and outreach project supported by grants, including from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Heising-Simons Foundation. Climate Communication operates as a project of the Aspen Global Change Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the scientific understanding of Earth systems and global environmental change. The site publicizes and illuminates the latest climate research in plain language, making the science more accessible to the public and policy makers.
Examples include a primer on climate change and a feature on extreme weather and its connections to climate change. Also  released on this site a report on heat waves and climate change. 

The site also helps journalists gather reliable scientific information and identify experts, helping make climate change science available and comprehensible to the media and to the public.

The assistance offered includes preparing accessible materials, organizing informational events, and offering one-on-one consultation to provide journalists with the most credible science.

The innovative merits and implementation challenges of the Energy Saving Insurance (ESI) instrument were outlined in The Lab’s Phase 2 analysis.

Small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) investments in energy efficiency (EE) are mostly limited to those with very short payback periods, such as lighting upgrades, rather than more capital intensive measures. The Energy Savings Insurance (ESI) instrument aims to scale up SMEs’ EE investment by providing a package of measures that boost investor confidence in the financial viability of EE investments. The core of the package is a new insurance product to cover energy savings for specifically defined and verifiable EE measures in targeted developing countries. In many cases, including in the initial pilot planned for Mexico, the insurance would be accompanied by additional interventions to mobilize investors, energy service providers, and financiers.

GOAL —

To provide assurance that energy efficiency projects will generate financial savings.

CURRENT STAGE —

Energy efficiency upgrades can make small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in developing countries more competitive and more productive, saving them money while reducing their emissions of harmful greenhouse gases. However, the market for such upgrades is typically limited to those with very short payback periods, such as lighting. This is particularly true for some developing countries and sectors. For example, in the SME sector, SMEs and local banks often lack both the technical capacity to assess the potential of more capital-intensive energy efficiency investments and the confidence that they will pay back, starving the sector of investment.

Preliminary Agenda for the Jordan National Stakeholders Workshop: General Climate Change Capacity Building and NAMA activity Identification and Formulation

The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) is a collaborative initiative to understand and show how individual countries can transition to a low-carbon economy and how the world can meet the internationally agreed target of limiting the increase in global mean surface temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius (°C).

Currently, the DDPP comprises 15 Country Research Teams composed of leading researchers and research institutions from countries representing 70% of global GHG emissions and different stages of development: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, the UK, and the USA.

Several Partner Organizations contribute to the analysis and outreach of the DDPP, including the German Development Institute (GDI), the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD). DDPP invites other organizations to become its partners and contribute to practical problem solving for deep decarbonization.

Climate change and the risk of violent conflict in the Middle East

This work is commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme - Regional Bureau for Arab States. The study examines current evidence provided by earlier studies and research in order to provide the UNDP-Arab Region Office with an improved understanding of the potential adaptation to climate change impacts for the Arab region. It provides an overview of the options for adaptation in order to minimize potential negative effects. The report starts with a brief introduction, which summarizes the objectives, methods and contents of the report. Next, it provides the background knowledge related to climate change and its impacts on the region, and then the potential adaptation options for increasing resilience of different sectors in the region in view of the projected impacts of climate change. Some of the main issues related to adaptation planning integration and funding are then discussed, followed by a complete list of scientific and technical studies that provide background information and support the evaluation. Finally, a glossary of terms and concepts, in addition to three annexes, complements the results provided in the main chapters of the report.
