AEJI story
Since the impact of Climate Change in Middle-East (ME) region is predicted to be on wider scale than single country borders, and targeting mitigation of climate risks should be to our view a shared target and efforts for regional transformation by neighboring countries, governments, researchers and civic society organizations - AEJI has established Climate justice group to act regionally.  Join Us : ClimateJustice.ME

Mitigation of Climate Risk and Adaptation to Climate Security In Israel and the Middle East: Policy Measures toward Geopolitical Cooperation and Regional Transformation

AEJI CCS|NS|RS Synthesis Report no. 1

Research: Joel Adam Gordon; Editor: Carmit Lubanov   |  Sunday, 03-Sep-2017

AEJI story
Abstract  The paper aims to provide a base for future assessments of "Climate Change and Security" in Israel and the Middle East. The linkages between climate change and National security are discussed vis-à-vis the current geopolitical landscape and associated transboundary challenges. Current climate-security challenges include migratory pressures, climate refugees, water stress and food insecurity. The study employs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework of "Climate Mitigation and Adaptation" to assess prospects for climate-security in the region. Preliminary findings correlate Israel’s potential role in climate-security politics to positive economic benefits. Climate Change Leadership (CCL) offers an alternative pathway for regional cooperation and geopolitical stability through the promotion of Middle Eastern-Mediterranean Alliances (MEMA’s). Foremost this vision aligns to a core strategic national masterplan – Leveraging for Geopolitical Cooperation and Regional Transformation – designed to strengthen Israel’s commitment towards a Climate Compatible Future (CCF). To help achieve this future, the final chapter suggests policy recommendations to promote geopolitical cooperation and regional transformation in response to the socio-economic and environmental pressures of anthropogenic climate change.  The report was initiated and conducted by AEJI with cooperation of the Internship program of the International MA Program - The Porter School of Environmental Studies, Tel Aviv University, 2017.

National Security and Climate Change in Israel and in the Middle East

Working paper - March 2017

Researcher: Joel Gordon, supervised by Carmit Lubanov   |  Wednesday, 22-Mar-2017

The research paper will focus on the link between “Climate Change and National Security,” as investigated from a national and regional perspective vis-à-vis Israel and the Middle East. The investigation will be directed towards outlining strategies and policies that could be suggested to the Israeli government, following a discussion of the (multiple) threats posed by climate change. To this end, a preliminary title has been framed: Leveraging for “New Geopolitical order” and Economic Opportunity, in order to underline the positive economic potential for Israel in assuming a leadership role in climate policy.
