Abstract  

     The global warming, which is driven by the human activities and increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases viz. CO₂ and methane, poses significant risks worldwide. These risks include but are not limited to the rising levels of the oceans, disruptive weather conditions, and chaos to ecosystems and biodiversity. These changes are severe threat to the natural environments, health of human and animal kingdom, food security, and economic stability (IPCC, 2021).

     Having worked in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for over a decade, specializing in sustainability and environmental projects, I have observed the transformative impact of landscaping construction on addressing these challenges. My involvement in some of Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s largest greenery and park projects has provided insights into how strategic landscaping can help mitigate global warming.
