The present paper is part of a regional EcoPeace Middle East project, which was uniquely comprised of a set of three national roundtables held in Amman, Ramallah, and Tel Aviv, and a regional roundtable, which took place in November 2018 at the Dead Sea, Jordan, as part of the 2018 EcoPeace Annual Conference. At each event, participants from a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including government, academia, think tanks, private sector, and civil society actively engaged in discussions on climate change and its implications for national and regional security. This paper is the sole responsibility of EcoPeace Middle East but was highly influenced by the opinions expressed during the roundtables. The roundtables and the production of the present discussion paper were supported by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Tel Aviv, the Representative Office of the Federal Republic of Germany Ramallah, and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Amman. The report is the sole responsibility of EcoPeace Middle East and in no way reflects the opinion of our funders.
