The Chaillot Paper titled "Of Risk and Readiness" by Florence Gaub and Clémentine Lienard explores the challenges and opportunities of adapting to the risks posed by climate change in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The authors argue that while the region is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, it also has the potential to play a leading role in developing and implementing strategies to address it. The paper highlights the importance of considering the social, economic, and political dimensions of climate change and the need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to address the risks and opportunities it presents. The authors also emphasize the need for greater awareness and understanding of the risks posed by climate change among decision-makers and the general public in the region.
