April 2024: Across the eastern Mediterranean region, farmers and other water managers are battling the harsh effects of climate change.

While many of their specific challenges change based on context, rising water scarcity is a common denominator.
To build climate resilience through enhanced water security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), IWMI and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are implementing the Al Murunah Project.
