Climate disasters have almost tripled in the past four decades in the MENA region, an area that remains one of the least funded regions in-terms of climate finance. Rising temperatures, water scarcity (drought), decreasing crop yields, and flash floods are affecting around 40 million people in the region, including those living in conflict-affected nations like Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Libya.
Anticipatory action refers to actions taken before a crisis hits to prevent or reduce potential disaster impacts prior to a shock or before acute impacts are felt. The actions are carried out based on forecasts or predictions of how the event will unfold.
In the MENA region, several key stakeholders have been advancing the AA agenda, including the Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) Movement, the World Food Programme (WFP), World Vision International (WVI), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), along with governments, national meteorological and hydrological services, research institutions and universities.
