Middle East and North Africa climate roadmap (2021-2025): Driving transformational climate action and green recovery in MENA

The Middle East & North Africa Climate Roadmap will bring climate and development together by adopting an economy-wide, whole of government approach to strengthen institutions, overcome barriers to private sector engagement, foster regional integration – while ensuring that no one is left behind. Countries in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) must accelerate system-wide transformations and develop long-term pathways to build low-carbon, resilient societies, promote inclusive development, peace and stability in the region.

The Roadmap articulates regional and country specific transformational pathways to build low-carbon, resilient societies while promoting socially inclusive economic growth, that account for people, nature and partners. The roadmap has the following outline:

1. Climate change context in MENA
2. Four transformation areas for a climate-smart future in MENA
3. Building on a strong foundation and principles for climate-smart development
4. Implementation, partnerships and summary of key actions
