the Arab Region 2024<\/em> is the first WMO report dedicated to assessing climate trends and impacts in one of the world\u2019s most vulnerable regions.

Extreme events in 2024, including heatwaves and floods, caused over 300 reported deaths, with actual human and economic losses likely higher.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 60% of Arab countries now operate multi-hazard early warning systems, above the global average but still insufficient given the scale of risks. The report emphasizes water security as a top regional priority, as 15 of the world\u2019s 20 most water-scarce countries are located in the Arab region. It reviews current policy frameworks, adaptation measures, and innovative solutions aimed at building long-term resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Developed through a multi-agency collaboration, the report brings together contributions from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, WMO Regional Climate Centres, the League of Arab States, UN agencies, international organizations, and experts across the region.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<article class=\"media media--type-dashboard media--view-mode-embed align-center\">\n<div class=\"w-full relative  embed-dashboard custom-iframe-embed\">\n<div class=\"flex
