Episode 41: Climate change, peace and progress: Renewable energy opportunities in the Middle East

As a heat dome drives record high temperatures for June across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), we speak with Ali Nasrallah, a green energy policy and climate security expert to discuss how climate change, rising temperatures and water scarcity are disrupting daily life and infrastructure, exacerbating tensions and contributing to new conflicts. We also speak about the energy transition and progress made from regional leadership with COP27 and COP28 to national legislation and incentives, as well as the importance of prioritising cross-border programming, partnerships and how access to data and visualisation can increase transparency and build trust with different stakeholders.
