The fight against climate change is gaining momentum, with a growing focus on reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and mitigating environmental impacts. Africa, the continent most vulnerable to global warming, faces unique challenges in this context. This study examines long-term association among CO2 emissions, economic growth, different socio-economic factors 36 African countries from 1990 2020. Employing Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, along U-test Dumitrescu Hurlin causality analyses, our reveals substantial connections amongst such as trade openness, renewable energy consumption, urbanization, population dynamics. findings support Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, indicating that initially increase GDP per capita growth but begin decline after turning point at approximately 10,614.75 USD. However, evidence for remains weak, suggesting have not yet achieved decoupling. Renewable consumption urbanization are negatively associated while openness show positive correlations. Causality analysis bidirectional relationships variables, except which may involve other moderating factors. highlight urgent need integrated policies advance sustainable development by focusing adoption, green strategies. Policymakers should prioritize initiatives harmonize sustainability, ensuring lasting balance between ecological preservation across Africa.

Water, often described as the elixir of life, is a critical resource that sustains life on Earth. The acute water scarcity in major basins Arabian Peninsula has been further aggravated by rapid population growth, urbanization, and impacts climate change. This situation underscores urgent need for comprehensive analysis region’s morphometric characteristics. Such an essential informed decision-making management, infrastructure development, conservation efforts. study provides foundational basis implementing sustainable management strategies preserving ecological systems deepening understanding unique hydrological processes within Peninsula. Additionally, this research offers valuable insights to policymakers developing effective flood mitigation identifying vulnerable areas. focuses extensive investigation assessment parameters primary Peninsula, emphasizing their role addressing promoting practices. findings reveal comprises 12 basins, collectively forming seventh-order drainage system covering total land area 3.24 million km2. Statistical demonstrates strong correlation between stream order cumulative length, well negative number (R2 = 99%).

This study assessed the past changes in extreme precipitation and temperature events across Himalayan Mountains of Pakistan. cold mountainous environmental region has witnessed a significant increase climate-related disasters over few decades. Spatiotemporal were analyzed using 24 indices developed by Expert Team on Climate Change Detection Indices (ETCCDI). For this study, situ data 16 national meteorological stations obtained from Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) for three decades (1991–2020). The significance trends was modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) test, Theil–Sen (TS) slope estimator used to estimate trend. results showed that there been consistent decline total amount trend exhibited decrease annual average at rate −6.56 mm/year. Simultaneously, an increasing minimum maximum temperatures rates 0.02 °C/year 0.07 °C/year, respectively. frequencies consecutive wet days (CWDs) 5-day (RX5day) have decreased significantly, with decreasing −0.40 days/year −1.18 mm/year, during very (R95p) extremely −19.20 −13.60 mm/decade, warm spell duration (WSDI) frequency (TX90p) Range both increased 1.5 1.4 days/decade. number (TX10p) nights (TN10p) 2.9 3.4 hottest (TXn) diurnal range (DTR) 0.10 0.30 °C/decade. indicated tendency dry weather Pakistan, which could adverse consequences water resources, agriculture, disaster management country.

The study utilizes an integrated approach that involves GRACE and Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) data to analyze temporal water mass variations in Saudi Arabia (KSA). Recently, KSA has witnessed a historic wet period between 2018 2020 (i.e., 120–150 mm/year) following prolonged dry 2002 2017 80–100 mm/year). Inspection of showed decline groundwater recharge −4 −6 mm during the period. depletion was reduced by 1 6.8 Northeastern side (e.g. Hail, Al-Jouf, Al-Hudud Ash-Shamaliyah areas) This impressive recovery led increase 360 km3 174 Al-Jouf 97 Ash-Shamaliyah. findings emphasize notion climate change will bring more frequent extreme climatic events Kingdom call for continuous monitoring aquifers every year.
