Dubai, a city known for its tall skyscrapers, fancy way of living, and new ideas, has caught the world's eye as a sign of being modern and moving forward. Its shiny buildings touch the sky and its rich lifestyle is like a world of richness and greatness. The city's beauty is hard to ignore, offering a life of super comfort and endless amazing things. But what if I say that behind this picture of success and beauty, there are big problems building up that might change Dubai's future in ways we can't predict?
The year 2022 hasn't brought much happiness to the Emirates. Over the past year, Dubai's stock market has fallen by nearly 25%, new business permits have declined, and, for the first time, employment rates have dropped. Presently, a growing number of experts are questioning whether Dubai is on the brink of a major crisis.
In this video, we'll dig deep into the reasons that could lead to Dubai facing a possible crisis and even vanishing by 2050. Unveiling these hidden challenges is like peering into a crystal ball of possibilities, urging us to ponder the future of this remarkable city.
So, without any further ado, let’s get started!
The vast desert has always been in close proximity to Dubai, the modern financial center with a population of approximately three million. Situated between the sea on one side and an endless expanse of sand on the other, this populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced an unlikely transformation over the past five decades. Starting as a quiet fishing harbor, it has evolved into a dazzling urban marvel. Nevertheless, the city is confronted by a significant challenge: the advancing desert that poses a threat to the emirate's remaining fertile terrain.
Though the UAE is comparable in size to Portugal, about 80% of its land area is already desert. The delicate ecosystem is vulnerable, and a considerable portion of its most valuable land is under growing pressure, partly due to desertification. In a report released by the government in 2019, it was noted that "as the population and food consumption systems expand, the deterioration of land and the spread of desertification are becoming increasingly prevalent." Tackling this issue has become a top priority for the nation. The objective isn't to conquer the desert, but rather to rejuvenate unproductive land areas.
