The Threat of Global WarmingClimate change may hold serious implications for regional security in Middle East.
Tension is already high between countries in this area, but the rising temperatures are calling for an increase in competition for the scarce water resources which can complicate the peace treaties in place. As expected, water division plays a huge part in almost every single peace negotiation in the region. In fact, the Israel-Jordan peace treaty has an entire annex devoted to the water issue. As climate change advances and water patterns become more rare, there could be major consequences for this region. |
