Translated by the students of Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW)

MBRF publishes scientific books on renewable energy, global

warming, and climate change

Dubai, UAE, 6 January 2025- 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
