This chapter covers the following topics: projections of global climate change; climate and agricultural systems in the drylands of the Mediterranean Zone; precipitation trends in the 20th century; downscaling the potential impact of climate change in the Eastern Mediterranean Region; and adaptation strategies based from impact assessment. Further, the chapter suggests that there appears no particular reason why the agricultural systems of the region would be unable to cope with climate change.
