The Nexus Among Population Distribution and Climate Risk?: Management in the Case of Saudi Arabia
Abstract
The geographical distribution of the population in Saudi Arabia plays a crucial role in climate risk management. The country is characterized by a high concentration of urban population, particularly in major cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, while vast desert areas remain sparsely populated. This spatial configuration exacerbates the varying vulnerabilities to climate hazards: flash floods and heat islands in densely populated urban areas, water scarcity and desertification in rural and desert regions, and coastal threats related to flooding and sea-level rise. This study demonstrates that climate risk management must take into account this territorial heterogeneity to develop appropriate public policies. Recent initiatives, including those within the framework of Vision 2030 and innovative urban projects such as NEOM, illustrate the Kingdom's commitment to integrating sustainability and resilience into its spatial planning.
