Waste-to-energy for climate security in protracted crisis in Yemen
July 14, 2021
key challenges:
Yemen is facing a number of intersected challenges including:
- Water scarcity
- Climate change
- Conflict
- Drought
- Displacement
- Diseases
- Rise in sea levels
- Increasing temperatures
- Floods
Reduced access to water and extreme weather events not only impact security, but they undermine livelihoods, particularly of vulnerable rural based households. Highly vulnerable populations are facing displacement, as a direct result of the conflict, but also due to the lack of employment opportunities, constricting agricultural land and resultant inability to purchase basic food and water supplies.
