Challenges in the
U.A.E
Desertification
The harsh climates of the United Arab Emirates
and other added factors are the cause
desertification in the country. Some causes
include:

● Lack of Rain
● Over-exploitation of natural resources
● Deterioration of soil
● Cutting down green nature to build

We know that the U.A.E. is a very modern

place with big buildings and a lot of
factories. As a result, they need to cut down
nature to make these buildings, this can
cause even more desertification.

Pollution

Pollution is a big problem in the U.A.E. The

large population causes a lot of pollution to
be produced. The cars, littering, smoking,
burning of fossil fuels are all major causes
for pollutants. A Lot of people have cars, and
those cars let out smoke, which is bad for
the air. According to the age data, about 1.5
million kids live in the U.A.E. , and because of
childrens nature, they tend to litter in the
ocean, streets or literally anywhere, which is
bad for the earth and the country.

Unemployment

Unemployment is one of the most

dangerous problems that any society can
have. It affects the economy. No money
equals to poverty, which is not good for the
country at all. The causes for unemployment
are:

- The youth refuse to work as labourers

- Businessmen and women try to have
employees from abroad because they
demand less salary
- Weak programs of training
