商品描述
This book delves into the complexities of the evolving climate across the Arabian Peninsula, elucidating the challenges it presents and exploring strategies to navigate and mitigate its impacts. Including specific examples from climate-sensitive regions can help the book reach a broader audience and effectively achieve its intended goals. With this in mind, the authors have selected the Arabian Peninsula, a region characterized by its unique ecosystem, arid climate, limited water resources, and fossil fuel-based economy. By examining the Arabian Peninsula's challenges and responses to climate change, this study aims to provide insightful illustrations and discussions that resonate with a diverse readership. The reading content of this book on regional climate change will prove valuable to students, researchers, scientists, and policymakers alike by enhancing public understanding of the evolving climate of the Arabian Peninsula and to guide the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies.
