    Disasters are increasing worldwide, with
    more devastating effects than ever before. While the
    absolute number of disasters around the world has almost
    doubled since the 1980s, the average number of natural
    disasters in Middle East and North Africa (MNA) has almost
    tripled over the same period of time. In the MNA, the
    interplay of natural disasters, rapid urbanization, water
    scarcity, and climate change has emerged as a serious

    Georgia

    In countries such as Georgia, the risks
    of climate change for the agricultural sector are a
    particularly immediate and important problem because the
    majority of the rural population depends either directly or
    indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. The most
    effective plans for adapting the sector to climate change

    Armenia

    Within any economy, agriculture is the
    sector that is most sensitive to climate change. In Armenia,
    however, the risks are even more pronounced because the

    their livelihoods. This publication outlines the policy
    options available to Armenia, based on a rigorous evaluation

    Africa, Northern Africa, Western Asia

    This report argues that Middle East and
    North Africa (MENA) countries face a critical choice in
    their quest for higher private sector growth and more jobs:
    promote competition, equal opportunities for all
    entrepreneurs and dismantle existing privileges to specific

    job creation. The report shows that policies which lower
    competition in MENA also constrain private sector
