Role of comparative risk assessment in addresing environmental security in the Middle East / Alon Tal, Igor Linkov
During the 21st century, environmental challenges are likely to intensify across the world and possibly lead to violent conflicts. Strategies for conflict avoidance will be incomplete unless they recognize, discuss, and mitigate regional environmental stress factors. Comparative risks assessment (CRA) is one of the most critical tools emerging to influence modern environmental policies and is increasingly used to create a common lenguage to help reconcile competing interest in development and environmental disputes around the world. This article considers the environmental challenges facing the Middle East in light of their "transboundary" nature and proposes CRA as a framework for setting environmental priorities and reduced tensions in the region
