Climate Change and Energy Dynamics in the Middle East

This edited volume presents chapters on the dynamics of global climate change and global warming in the Middle East. In this region, it should be noted that even slightly warmer weather can result in an increased demand of energy along with its lower supply, as well as lower labor productivity. This text focuses on modeling, simulation, system dynamics, and agent-based modeling in dealing with these issues. The latest decision making tools, techniques, and innovative solutions used to overcome these challenges are presented.
Many distinguished researchers contribute their work herein. The audience for this volume includes policy makers, researchers, and students unified by the common goal of making better decisions in the sustainable production and consumption of energy. The practical orientation of the chapters within each part is intended to suit the practitioners: managers and decision makers in the energy sector of the Middle East region.

Provides comprehensive frameworks, models, and integrative solutions for the sustainable production and consumption of energy in the Middle East region Examines innovative and integrative solutions that have brought real successes in modern complex climate change and energy dynamics Includes methods, techniques, and perspectives for building better sustainable energy supply systems through creative use of evidence-based decision making Features 'managerial insights' describing new and integrative solutions for delivering sustainable performance by their energy production and consumption systems
