The CASCADES workshop held in Istanbul in May brought together experts and stakeholders from the region and beyond to discuss approaches to addressing the nexus between climate change, water resources, development, migration, and (human) security in the Levant region. Participants exchanged views on how sustainable development can be advanced in response to climate change and which role the EU can play as stakeholder.
In this interview we speak with Hamza Sharif, who is a now retired former UNDP officer. While at the UN, he worked on issues relating to climate change, development, and water diplomacy.
CASCADES is a research consortium funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 821010.
