Do households living in climate affected
areas in the MENA region believe that changes in climate
patterns and their environment are taking place? Have
households been affected by extreme weather events, and if
so to what extent and which events have had the largest
impact? What are the coping strategies that households
declare having used, or could be using to cope with climate
change and weather shocks? And what are the implications for
policy? A new World Bank Study by Wodon et al. (2014) helps
in answering these questions. It is widely recognized that
MENA will be strongly affected by climate change. The
frequency and severity of extreme weather shocks is expected
to increase. Yet, the evidence on how households are already
affected and whether they can cope and adapt to changing
climatic conditions is limited. The study by Wodon et al.
(2014) helps fill these knowledge gaps. It is based in large
part on new household surveys and qualitative data from
climate affected areas in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Syria,
and Yemen. The study provides insights on household
perceptions of, and vulnerability to, extreme weather shocks. |
