Expert Solution

It is crucial to adapt to climate change, especially in light of the dangers Saudi Arabia faces due to it. Climate change and the region's dry and desert environment create several difficulties that call for prompt adaptation strategies. According to Sowers and Weinthal, increasing temperatures, water scarcity, and an increased incidence of extreme weather events like heatwaves and dust storms are already occurring in Saudi Arabia (Sowers and Weinthal, 2010). These conditions seriously harm several industries, including agriculture, water supplies, and infrastructure.
