The Middle East Environmental Futures Project is an interdisciplinary research program which has emerged out of a workshop entitled “Population, Consumption and Environment in Israel and Palestine” at Brown University in July 2002.
The program’s central objective is to strengthen environmental policy decisionmaking in Israel and Palestine by integrating environmental data analysis with an assessment of the desires of various population groups in the region vis-à-vis their natural environment. It seeks to define what people think

the Middle East environment should look like in the future as well as predicting what the environment will look like given current trends.
