Comparative prospective life cycle assessment of decarbonization strategies in the Saudi cement industry
Decarbonizing the cement sector is essential for meeting global climate targets and maintaining industry competitiveness. As one of the world's largest cement producers, Saudi Arabia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. Given the technological heterogeneity in Saudi cement facilities, plant-level data are crucial for accurately assessing feasible decarbonization pathways. This study applied prospective life cycle assessment to e…
Projected impact of heat stress on work performance, population exposure, and mortality in the Arabian Peninsula
This study investigates projected changes in heat stress in a changing climate and their impacts on population exposure, work performance, and mortality in the Arabian Peninsula (AP). The findings demonstrate an intensification in future heat stress across the AP, with a projected increase in extreme caution and danger days under SSP5-8.5, compared to SSP2-4.5 and SSP1-2.6 scenarios. The coastal cities are projected to experience higher heat stre…
Assessing the impact of climate conditions on the distribution of mosquito species in Qatar
Qatar is a peninsular country with predominantly hot and humid weather, with 88% of the total population being immigrants. As such, it leaves the country liable to the introduction and dissemination of vector-borne diseases, in part due to the presence of native arthropod vectors. Qatar's weather is expected to become warmer with the changing climatic conditions across the globe. Environmental factors such as humidity and temperature contribute t…
The built environment resilience qualities to climate change impact
The exposure of built environment systems to climate-related disturbances increases over time. As such, the resilience of the built environment against climate change shocks and stresses has increasingly become a concern on the local, national, and global levels. Therefore, there is a need to measure the impact, build coping and adaptive capacities, and improve the functionality of the vulnerable systems. In addition, the systems must adopt the m…
Urban Transportation Networks Resilience
Due to a surge in the frequency and intensity of disruptive events, such as natural disasters, the Covid-19 pandemic, and intentional attacks, the concept of resilience has attracted increased attention in recent years. Many scholars have focused on transportation network resilience because of its importance in society's well-being and recovery efforts after disturbances. Existing studies have suggested various definitions, indicators, and method…
Climate change impacts on critical urban infrastructure and urban resiliency strategies for the Middle East
Revaluing the costs and benefits of energy efficiency
Integrating concentrated solar power with seawater desalination technologies
Using renewable energy to power seawater desalination technologies can reduce the environmental impacts of a process which is essential for global water security. However, the uneven geospatial distribution of renewable energy resources and regions of water scarcity results in unequal environmental benefits which creates uncertainty for global policy making. Hence, this study explores the relation between renewable energy resources, freshwater de…
