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.
