Let's talk about water, reservoirs and hydropower

Water, a vital resource for the population, agriculture, human and animal food, industry and energy generation, is the most consumed natural resource after oxygen. Without fresh water we would perish in a few days and our economic system would enter a crisis quickly, if not immediately. The new social crises and old migrations are mainly due to the lack of water resources.

Armed Conflicts and Weaponization: the Biggest Threat to Biodiversity

Armed conflict and weaponization which are the manifestations of human beings continues to have a devastating impact on biodiversity around the world. Existing species are disappearing more than the pace on which new species on earth are being discovered. Nearly 1.8 million different species exist on our planet, including 280,000 in the seas and oceans. Every year, 15,000 species are being added to biodiversity, while the discovery mission is far from over yet.

Is it easy to combat climate change under war conditions in Yemen?

In Yemen, the protracted war since 2015 has a major negative impact on the environment. Many farmlands were either burned or left to die, and outbreaks of disease arose as a result of garbage dispersed between homes and on the streets. The climate has also changed dramatically. The winter season was not felt by locals here in Sana'a governorate as every year, as it was unusually warm.
