Climate change has emerged as a critical global issue, leading to the displacement of people worldwide. This policy study focuses on the MENA region, where climate-induced internal displacement is becoming a pressing concern. Millions of people are at risk of displacement due to rising sea levels, water scarcity, and extreme weather events. This displacement has wide-ranging social, economic, and environmental implications that demand immediate attention.

The study underscores the need for a holistic approach that considers the root causes of migration, and it highlights the importance of long-term adaptation and resilience mechanisms for affected communities.
