Abstract

According to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2007, 2007a), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) or the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region2 will be severely affected by the physical effects of climate change such as i) high temperature increases, ii) significant decline in precipitation, and iii) projected sealevel rise, especially in the Nile delta and the low-lying coastal regions with high population density.
