The Gulf Council Countries(GCC), including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman,
Kuwait, and Bahrain, have also faced natural disasters, although their impacts have
varied. Oman, for instance, was hit by several severe tropical cyclones. Cyclone

that the central region of the Arabian Peninsula will experience higher temperatures
across all seasons throughout the 21st century, providing valuable information for
long-term regional planning. The study investigated the seasonal, inter-seasonal,
and regional changes in temperature, as well as the associated uncertainties.
8. RESULTS
This study addressed two critical research questions that arise from the profound
and economic risks posed by these disasters, exploring how these risks vary

infrastructure and economics. As a result, the review of the 84 articles provided a
comprehensive analysis of the impacts of climate change on nature. The analysis

the North Atlantic, an increase in Category 3 or higher storms has been observed,
with projections suggesting a rise under "+2 ºC" warming scenario (Knutson, T. R.,
