<p>Background and Context The Middle East and North Africa region is experiencing a period of profound disruption shaped by the latest war in the Middle East, wider regional escalation risks, and shifting geopolitical alignments, economic shocks, social fragility, and worsening climate and environmental pressures. These developments are unfolding in a region already marked by inequality, conflict vulnerability, fossil fuel dependency, water scarcity, food insecurity, energy insecurity, constrained civic space, and uneven climate resilience. The war and its broader regional repercussions are likely to reshape power relations, diplomacy, security priorities, governance systems, economic planning, public narratives, and social movements. The disruption also has direct and indirect climate and environmental consequences, including damage to ecosystems and infrastructure, pollution risks, reconstruction pressures, increased fossil fuel dependency, weakened environmental governance, and heightened vulnerability of communities already facing climate impacts. For Greenpeace MENA, this moment requires a strategic assessment of how geopolitical and economic changes intersect with climate justice, environmental protection, energy transition, civic space, and movement-building. The assessment should help Greenpeace MENA understand the implications for its campaigns, advocacy, partnerships, public positioning, narratives, risk management, and long-term strategic direction.
