About

Innovations in Climate Resilience is a new event series hosted by MEI's Climate and Water Program. The series showcases different practical applications that address climate change vulnerability in the MENA region.

Amid growing concerns over water scarcity and low rainfall rates, efforts are underway globally to find innovative solutions and ideas to tackle the problem.  One potential solution being pursued within the MENA region is rain enhancement. The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP) contributes to water security innovation by advancing the science, technology, and implementation of rain enhancement, and spurring additional investment in research funding and partnerships globally.

Join Alya Al Mazrouei, the Director of the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, and Mohammed Mahmoud, Director of MEI’s Climate and Water Program, for a conversation on how the UAE is leading rain enhancement efforts in the MENA region as a pathway to addressing climate change-driven water scarcity and augmenting regional water supplies.
