CLIMATE CHANGE PRESENTS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT FOR THE GULF COUNTRIES
Temperatures in the region are predicted to rise as well as sea levels whilst rain is declining dramatically reducing arable land and making certain cities uninhabitable. Sandstorms cost the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia $13billion a year, reinforcing the link from climate risks to financial risks.
ON THE PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Following the launch of the Saudi Vision 2030 & Dubai 2040 Urban Place, another bold plan was announced the Saudi and Middle East Green Initiative aimed to increase biodiversity and renewable energy in the region, creating an opportunity to highlight initiatives under development in the region, in the run-up to COP 26.
