As climate threats rise, CGIAR launched the MENA Climate Security Hub in Cairo, led by the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT, to advance practical, science-based solutions for peace, resilience, and lasting impact across the region.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region stands at the frontline of climate change, where rising temperatures, water scarcity, and migration pressures are reshaping the future of millions of people and their environments. In response to these mounting challenges, the CGIAR officially launched the MENA Regional Climate Security Hub in Cairo, Egypt on May 2, 2023. Led by the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT and located in the office of ICARDA in Maadi, Cairo, the hub is a dynamic collaborative space where CGIAR centers and regional partners converge to generate climate security science and drive innovative and transformative solutions that advance climate resilience, peace, and sustainable livelihoods across the region.
