The report presents local-level priorities, informed by stakeholder input, to build agricultural resilience in both countries. The objectives of this study are threefold: 1) to improve the understanding of climate change projections and impacts on rural communities and livelihoods in selected regions of Jordan and Lebanon, specifically the Jordan River Valley and Lebanon's Bek 410 0$aWorld Bank Studies 606 $aAgriculture and state$zJordan 606 $aAgriculture and state$zLebanon 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zJordan 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zLebanon 606 $aCrops and climate$zJordan 606 $aCrops and climate$zLebanon 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgriculture and state 615 0$aAgriculture and state 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCrops and climate 615 0$aCrops and climate 676 $a363.738/740956 700 $aVerner$b Dorte$0855043 712 02$aWorld Bank.$bMiddle East and North Africa Region.$bSustainable Development. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452728003321 996 $aIncreasing resilience to climate change in the agricultural sector of the Middle East$92193740 997 $aUNINA
