Oxford Economics’ research shows that the economic impact of global warming rises for countries that are already among the hottest in the world. The GCC belongs to this group.
For the three most active GCC states in this area, the Uae,qatar,saudi, the study presents a comprehensive, sector-based assessment of existing measures aimed at or with benefits for emission reductions and climate resilience.
Gcc is about 1800 kilowatt/h per every square meter and this makes the adoption of solar energy in the region technically and economically feasible. Statistics show that both the Middle East and the North of Africa are equipped to deal with this technology.
significantly expanded mitigation effort, the world is on course to warm by about 2°C above preindustrial levels by 2050.
Global warming of this magnitude is likely to have major economic consequences that could have pronounced economic impacts by 2050 and beyond. And the MENA region, which already suffers from climate-related issues like water scarcity.
Gcc is not only granted an enormous supply of oil and natural gas but also a perfect geopolitical positioning wherein it receives maximum exposure to sunlight and in many areas wind, which would provide endless renewable energy.
couple of days of rain can flood parts of cities in GCC, and bring life to a standstill, the prospect of large scale climate change is a sobering thought, and a thought that needs to be translated into action.
UAE Energy Strategy targeting 50 per cent in clean energy by 2050 (with 44 per cent renewables, 38 per cent gas, 12 per cent clean coal and 6 per cent nuclear), while Saudi Arabia is looking to generate over 27GW of clean power by 2023 and over 58GW by 2030
