Environment and Climate in the Middle East

Welcome
- Resources and news on the environmental dimension of political and social change in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The politics are challenging, but so is the changing regional ecology. See also "About: How This Blog Came to Be" and "Suggestions on How to Use this Blog."
