  • Impacts of Climate Change on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
    COMPOUNDING VULNERABILITY: IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PALESTINIANS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK MICHAEL MASON, MARK ZEITOUN, AND ZIAD MIMI Coping with (and adapting to) climatological hazards is commonly understood in intergovernmental and aid agency fora as a purely tech- nical matter. This article examines the UN Development Programme’s stakeholder consultations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in order to challenge the donor-driven technical-managerial framing of Palestinian climate vulnerability by showing how Israeli occupa- tion practices exacerbate environmental stresses. While emphasizing the importance of social, economic, and political contexts in shap- ing populations’ responses to climate change in general, the authors demonstrate the multiple ways in which the occupation speci!cally compounds hazards reveals it as constitutive of Palestinian climate vulnerability. AT THE DECEMBER 2009 !fteenth conference of the parties (COP15) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Copenhagen, 130 heads of state and government af!rmed their commit- ments to address climate change, including Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Israeli President Shimon Peres. Observ- ers hoping that shared climate risks would be an area for Palestinian- Israeli cooperation were disappointed. Both leaders acknowledged that signi!cant climate change was forecasted by the end of this century for the Eastern Mediterranean region: its impacts, Fayyad noted, included decreased precipitation, signi!cant warming, more frequent extreme weather events, and a rise in sea level.1 There was also a shared recogni- tion that the key hazards posed by these changes—greater water scarcity, falling agricultural productivity, an increased probability of "ash "oods, and saline intrusion into groundwater—will be accentuated by a growing population.

  • Occupied Palestinian Territory (Including East Jerusalem)
    Reporting period: 29 March - 4 April 2016 Weekly Highlights For the first week in almost six months there have been no Palestinian nor Israeli fatalities recorded. 88 Palestinians, including 18 children, were injured by Israeli forces across the oPt. The majority of injuries (76 per cent) were recorded during demonstrations marking ‘Land Day’ on 30 March, including six injured next to the perimeter fence in the Gaza Strip, followed by search and arrest operations. The latter included raids in Azzun ‘Atma (Qalqiliya) and Ya’bad (Jenin) involving property damage and the confiscation of two vehicles, and a forced entry into a school in Ras Al Amud in East Jerusalem. On 30 occasions, Israeli forces opened fire in the Access Restricted Area (ARA) at land and sea in Gaza, injuring two Palestinians as far as 350 meters from the fence. Additionally, Israeli naval forces shelled a fishing boat west of Rafah city, destroying it completely. Israeli forces continued to ban the passage of Palestinian males between 15 and 25 years old through two checkpoints controlling access to the H2 area of Hebron city. This comes in addition to other severe restrictions on Palestinian access to this area in place since October 2015. During the reporting period, Israeli forces removed the restrictions imposed last week on Beit Fajjar village (Bethlehem), which prevented most residents from exiting and entering the village. This came following a Palestinian attack on Israeli soldiers near Salfit, during which the suspected perpetrators were killed. Israeli forces also opened the western entrance to Hebron city, which connects to road 35 and to the commercial checkpoint of Tarqumiya.

  • Pesticides and Agroecology in the Occupied West Bank Conclusions from a Joint APN-PANAP Mission in Palestine, May 2016
    Pesticides and Agroecology in the Occupied West Bank Conclusions from a Joint APN-PANAP Mission in Palestine, May 2016 Dr Meriel Watts, Tanya Lee, Heather Aidy PAN Asia Pacific and Arab Group for the Protection of Nature June 2016 Pesticides and Agroecology in the Occupied West Bank Conclusions from a Joint APN-PANAP Mission in Palestine, May 2016 Dr Meriel Watts, Tanya Lee, Heather Aidy PAN Asia Pacific and Arab Group for the Protection of Nature June 2016 Photos: Meriel Watts unless otherwise specified 4 5 Overview In May 2016, representatives from Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) and PAN Asia Pacific (PANAP) undertook a visit to the Occupied West Bank in Palestine that was facilitated by the Palestinian Farmers Union and Palestinian Voluntary Work Committee. One of the main purposes of this visit was to assess the human rights and environmental implications of the manufacture and illicit trade in pesticides into the Occupied West Bank from inside the Green Line (refer to the next section for an explanation of this terminology). Much of the material in this report was obtained from site visits and discussions with government officials especially the Environmental Quality Authority, union leaders, workers, farmers, pastoralists, medical personnel, educators and students in Hebron, Qalqilya, Salfit, Tubas, Jericho and Tulkarem Governorates. Palestinian pastoralists beside an encroaching illegal Israeli agricultural settlement, Northern Jordan Valley, Tubas Agriculture forms a critical part of the Palestinian economy and society for a variety of reasons, including employment, food security, and prevention of encroachment by illegal Israeli settlements.1 However, farming is significantly hindered by the imposition of the military occupation of Palestine by Israel and the activities of illegal Israeli settlers.
