NES 2687
Environmental Issues in the Contemporary Middle East

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Centrally located between two continents; the Middle East is drawn by nature to many environmental challenges that are related to its unequal distribution of natural resources associated with its geological setting, mosaic ethnic composition, and cultural diversity. Such environmental background sets the need for an essential understanding of challenges that faces the area and is likely fundamental to its survival. In this course, we will assess environmental issues facing the current Middle East including but not limited to i. population exponential growth, ii. water scarcity, iii. natural resources distribution, iv. environmental hazards associated with conflict, and v. tourism to provide future recommendations for environmental management that focuses mainly on youth involvement i.e. the concerned generation.
