For the nations of MENA, these challenges touch the very foundations of water, food, energy, and territorial sovereignty. Agroecology, water-smart systems, solar energy, and climate modeling are sectors of the future. MENA has the land, solar potential, water expertise, and human resources to make this happen. By integrating water, agriculture, energy, and urban planning into a cohesive climate doctrine, the region can anticipate, protect, and structure its future—turning climate challenge into strategic advantage.
