A GREEN-BLUE DEAL FOR THE MIDDLE EAST This report seeks to inform the policy considerations of Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian policymakers, and the understanding of international stakeholders, as they work to meet the challenges posed by climate change in our region. The authors’ assessment is that a “Middle East Green Blue Deal” – one that gives additional emphasis to the particular importance of water and water scarcity issues in the region is a practical, feasible and effective policy approach to an urgent challenge and one that can serve to address conflict drivers, advance a two-state solution, based on 1967 borders and promote trust-building and cooperation in a conflict-mired region. https://ecopeaceme.org/gbd/
