| Summary: | In Mashreq, climate change and fragility
form a vicious cycle wherein current fragility hinders
climate action and climate threats will exacerbate
fragility. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought
an acute disruption to the global economy, yet its most
profound effects have been felt in weak and fragile states,
including Mashreq countries. Reimagining a post-Covid-19
climate-responsive economic recovery presents a critical
opportunity to break away from this cycle and align
economic, development, and climate agendas. This report
highlights some of the opportunities available for Mashreq
countries, focusing on Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, to couple
climate action with post-pandemic economic recovery. The
main audience of this report are the governments, policy
makers, development community and stakeholders in Mashreq
interested in exploring climate responsive opportunities to
support economic recovery. |
