      abstract = {This book serves the purpose of showcasing some of the  works in respect of applied research, field projects, and  best practice to foster climate change adaptation across  the region. Climate change is having a much greater impact  in the Mediterranean than the global average. In the Paris  Climate Agreement, the UN member states pledged to stop  global warming at well below two degrees, if possible at  1.5 degrees. This mark, which is expected elsewhere only  for 2030 to 2050, has already been reached in the region.  The situation could worsen in the coming years if the  global community does not limit its emissions. The above  state of affairs illustrates the need for a better and more  holistic understanding of how climate change affects  countries in the Mediterranean region on the one hand, but  also on the many problems it faces on the other, which  prevent adaptation efforts. There is also a perceived need  to showcase successful examples of how to duly address and  manage the many social, economic, and political problems  posed by climate change in the region, in order to  replicate and even upscale the successful approaches used.  It is against this background that the book "Climate Change  in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Region" has been  produced. It contains papers prepared by scholars,  practitioners, and members of governmental agencies,  undertaking research and/or executing climate change  projects, and working across the region.},
