Climate Change-Arab Countries

Climate change is already affecting the Arab World in many ways. It will cause extreme heat to spread ,making some regions unlivable.

Unfortunately, many of the Arab states are living in conditions of fragility and are consumed by the need to meet short-term goals. At the same time, the rich Gulf Arab states can afford to pump cold air onto sidewalks and in markets to allow for some comfort outdoors. Rising temperatures will put intense pressure on crops and already scarce water resources, potentially increasing migration and the risk of conflict.High temperatures are not just uncomfortable; they are disruptive to life in many respects.
By 2050, temperatures in the MENA will be 4°C higher, according to Germany’s Max Planck Institute. By the end of the century, daytime highs could reach 50°C, with 200 days of exceptional heat every year
The thought of what will happen in these cities as climate change worsens living conditions, if the standards of governance remain the same, is a frightening one.This limits their ability to participate in meaningful efforts to combat climate change or adapt to more sustainable infrastructure. Cities will feel an increasing heat island effect and most capital cities in the Middle East could face four months of exceedingly hot days every year.

Oil Storage Terminals: The Strategic Backbone of Global Energy Trade

 Oil storage terminals are critical infrastructure within the global energy ecosystem, serving as the foundation for oil logistics, strategic trade, and energy security. These facilities go far beyond functioning as mere warehouses for crude oil or refined products—they are sophisticated, multifunctional hubs that support international trade flows, offer stability during periods of market volatility, and empower nations and businesses with strategic flexibility in energy management, processing, and distribution. The strategic importance of these terminals lies in their ability to balance supply and demand, particularly during geopolitical disruptions, natural calamities, or seasonal consumption shifts. Countries with robust terminal infrastructure can stockpile reserves, safeguarding against global oil shocks and reducing their vulnerability to supply chain interruptions.
