The climate crisis as a multiplier of opportunities for Israel and the Middle East

The ”Water-Energy Nexus” of EcoPeace Middle East could strengthen Israeli region-wide national security interests by proactively converting the climate crisis from a threat multiplier to a multiplier of opportunities. This initiative could secure climate, water, energy security and facilitate the creation of underlying institutional frameworks to broaden regional cooperation based on powerful security, economic sustainability interests, towards regional integration and long-term region-wide stability.
