The Regional Bureau in Cairo (RBC) is supporting countries across the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and Eastern European regions in reducing disaster risks, adapting to climate change and pursuing resilience strategies relevant to specific contexts. Several countries in the region are highly vulnerable to a variety of risks, both man-made and natural, and are also among the most vulnerable to changes in the climate, which – along with other major trends and risk drivers such as environmental and land degradation, changing demographics, urbanization, and socio-economic instability, will severely affect food security and malnutrition.
