Résumé : |
Due to water scarcity and vulnerability to climate change, the Mediterranean region is one of the most prone areas in the world to instability and migration. Climate change adds new complexity to the areas of human mobility and settlement by exacerbating environmental degradation, and thereby water and food security.
Evidence is still scarce on the relative impacts and inter-relations between water availability, access, use, changing climate patterns, agricultural transformation, migration, and displacement. However, environmental shocks and long-term trends are shown to be a trigger for, and sometimes exacerbate existing human movements, impacting the nature of decision-making and thus, the rural communities and the rural-to-urban migration. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean also offers a lot of potential for reducing the effects of climate change and adapting to them. In the region, tackling water scarcity and promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation could encourage job creation and entrepreneurship, especially among Mediterranean youth, with clear knock-on effects on regional instability resulting from unemployment, disenfranchisement, and migration. Therefore, one of the most effective ways to tap into the region's underutilized young potential and achieve favourable socioeconomic and environmental results is to specifically target adolescents through capacity-building and green entrepreneurial possibilities centred around water. |
