The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) is coming to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and staying for at least two years in a row. In November 2022, COP 27 is set to take place in Egypt and in November 2023, COP 28 will be held in the United Arab Emirates. With the arrival of this high-profile, global initiative comes an unparalleled opportunity to examine pressing climate change issues and their impact on those living in MENA and to offer ground-up solutions that facilitate adaptation to or mitigation of these challenges. It’s also a critical moment to unpack the underlying political, social, and economic conditions that determine whether or not climate policy can truly be transparent, accountable, and just. TIMEP presents “COP Comes to MENA: Examining Climate Change in the Region,” a project that is cultivating a community and a platform through which experts, advocates, and those most impacted will drive the climate policy agenda in the face of insufficient engagement at home and underrepresentation of MENA in the global climate conversation. The project aims to instill into the discourse a more comprehensive understanding of climate change’s impact on everyday life and what it means to deliver climate justice. Through written, audiovisual, and interactive programming, TIMEP will center perspectives and insights from and in the region to inform inclusive and effective climate interventions ahead of and around critical fora like COP.
