When traveling around the town I was stopped when I noticed there were climate change books in the back of a man’s truck bed. Curious about the advances the Mediterranean may have in this global crisis I stopped to ask the man if I could view the booklet. To my surprise he allowed me to take home with me one of these booklets.

When reading through the Climate Change Initiative book I found it interesting that The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) is a hot area for this reform. They have created a task force that is broadening its efforts to educate the population about this crisis. They believe that this topic should be talked about in formal education and not just as a hobby topic. I found this intriguing as my minor is climate change back at MSU and it is starting to have a broader educational presence. The problem with making this a want for the general public is daunting. There is also a language barrier with information as a lot of people do not speak English so they are needing to translate a lot of studies on climate change to be able to make it accessible for this to work properly. The abstract for this is that they will need to include many parties to be able to achieve this in this area. I believe this is a great effort to be able to spread knowledge of what is happening and what may come about to people who are not yet knowledgeable in this area, just as any other forms of knowledge
