600 million people, or 50 percent of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) population, may be exposed to “super-extreme” weather events by 2100 at current projections, raising questions about “human survivability” in some areas.
At current projections, some areas in MENA could see temperatures potentially reaching 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher in the coming decades, rendering them uninhabitable.
Severe water and food scarcity and the mass movement of “climate refugees” have been forecast.
