More than 16 million people in the Middle East are currently displaced, and water insecurity is likely to drive further displacement. Climate change and ineffective water management have driven people from their homes as floods, droughts, and landslides have become more common. Water insecurity also drives instability and conflict, as resource shortages aggravate pre-existing vulnerabilities and inequalities.
Please join the CSIS Middle East Program for a virtual discussion on the connections between water insecurity and displacement and how these factors have played out in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria with eminent experts Giorgi Gigauri, Niku Jafarnia, and Michael Talhami, moderated by Natasha Hall.
This event is made possible through support by Bahaa Rafic Hariri.
