(ANSAmed) - CAIRO - Arab League Secretary General, Amr Moussa, said that the Arab region is not exempt from the repercussions of the global climate change, warning that it will be the most vulnerable area as a result of this change. This came during the regional ceremony to launch the State of World Population 2009 entitled 'Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate', Mena news agency reported. Reports show that the Arab region is the most vulnerable to the impact of the climate change, Moussa stressed. Climate change will affect the food production and is likely to cause the spread of infectious diseases, including malaria, bilharzia, and lung diseases. Human migration undoubtedly will be one of the most significant consequences of climate change, which also account for water scarcity especially. The Arab region faces many problems related to climate change, Moussa said, citing desertification and land degradation, sea-level rise and coastline erosion. (ANSAmed).
