MBRF publishes scientific books on

renewable energy, global warming, and

climate change

January 7, 2025 14

As part of the outputs of the Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), an initiative

undertaken by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), a new
collection of scientific books has been published by the program in Arabic. The books were

prepared by Macao Group Publishing’s scientific team and were later translated into Arabic
under the supervision of Dr. Ghanim Al Samarrai.

The latest publications include Waseela Mustafa Hamam’s translation of the book ‘Renewable

and Alternative Energy’. The book explores the influence of global warming on climate change
around the globe, such as glacier melting, droughts, heatwaves, off-season rains, and seasonal

shifts. Furthermore, the book focuses on fossil fuels, which are a non-renewable energy source
that will eventually be depleted. Fossil fuels account for around 80–85 percent of global energy,

with renewable energy accounting for the remaining 15–20 percent. Considering the rising
need for energy, relying on fossil fuels would exacerbate global warming, emphasizing the

critical need to produce sustainable and renewable energy.

The collection also includes Mariam Mahmoud Saad’s Arabic translation of the book ‘Global

Warming and Biodiversity.’ It covers biodiversity on Earth and showcases the importance of
maintaining ecological stability and overall global health. Meanwhile, climate change poses a

significant threat to biodiversity. With rising global temperatures, plants and animals confront
tremendous hurdles in adjusting to rapid ecosystem changes. These changes include rising

temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns and breeding seasons, and fewer interactions between
animals and plants. These factors lead to the endangerment of various species. It is estimated

that a temperature increase of more than 3.5 degrees Celsius on Earth might result in the
extinction of over 70 percent of known species. This highlights the need for immediate action
to conserve biodiversity and ecosystems from the negative effects of climate change.
