I aim to improve the introduction of this article as I find it is not thorough and it does not provide context about the region and the overall issue. More statistics will be added (as I find that it lacks such), and the most important issues regarding Climate Change in the Middle East and North Africa will be included in order to bring fluency to the article - but also for first time readers to get the overview of this article from the introduction. The article contains sections on different countries of the MENA region, therefore in the introduction I will discuss the broader region and the issues they will suffer as a result of climate change
Hello fellow Wikipedians!
I have recently begun working on this article as part of a university course and will be making more edits over the coming weeks. Climate change is a topic I am very passionate about and I believe it is very important for information to be made available to the public regarding climate change's impacts upon MENA, a highly vulnerable region. I look forward to collaborating with you all in improving this article so we can set it free from its stub status. I have created sections covering emissions in the region, present and future impacts, and policy relating to climate change. I have also written the lead section for this article and added appropriate nav boxes, hat notes and categories. Finnrushton ( talk) 08:33, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
The opening sentence in the emissions section of this article states that man made emissions are the cause of climate change. Whilst they are a big contributor, natural causes such as interglacial cycling and El Nino/La Nina also have an effect even though they occur over a much larger timescale. Removal of carbon sinks such as rainforests also cause climate change. Changing this sentence to state that man-made gasses are one of the biggest contributors seems more appropriate.

I writed in the section about current effects on water scarcity about the link to Syrian civil War with source 1, source 2 and source 3 but the text was deleted already 2 times. Why? While not all researchers agree about the importance of this factor still thee are many who think that climate change induced drought played a considerable role. I think it should be included.

The "By Country" section of this article does not appear to be adding much to this article or adhering to Wikipedia's good article criteria. Many of the claims made in this section are not referenced and contain grammatical errors. Moreover, If there are already pages dedicated to each country mentioned, people can go to those pages and read a more detailed account of climate change in those countries instead. I think this section could potentially be removed altogether, as i would assume this article is supposed to be addressing climate change in the broader MENA region.

I suggest to change the headings and structure of this article to be in line with the template that has been proposed here for all articles of the nature "Climate change in Country X": /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climate_change/Style_guide (see also discussion on that page's talk page). Anyone has any objections? If not, who's got time to give it a go? I am slowly working away at this for all the countries but would love some collaborators. EMsmile ( talk) 08:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
