In brief

About the project

The MENA region is extremely vulnerable to climate change and resulting rises in temperatures and changes in rainfall. We support Syrbanism as a women-led and Syrian-led organization which aims to integrate climate-consciousness and environmental justice into the early recovery programs in Syria. Climate change has been one of the main drivers of the Syrian Civil War, and it continues to severely impact Syria. Therefore, it is crucial for Early Recovery to take into account the impact of climate change on reconstruction and social cohesion. Syrbanism aims to compile a handbook based on interviews, workshops, and research by the organization itself as well as its partners. The handbook will offer recommendations on how stakeholders can implement principles such as community participation and equitable access to resources in the context of climate change in recovery efforts.
