In light of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel and the growing instability across the region, we and our partners at Robert Bosch Stiftung have made the difficult decision to postpone the Crossroads of Crises: Conflict, Climate Change, and the Environment in the MENA Region conference, originally scheduled to take place in Amman on June 23-24, 2025.

In place of the postponed conference, we will move forward with two online panels from the original program, offered as live webinars. We invite you to join us for these timely conversations:
