Temperature tracking has become a vital subject matter for countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), especially as the region has been facing a noticeable increase in average temperatures over the past four decades. This rise in temperature has led to more frequent and intense heat waves, impacting both public health and well-being. While there is ongoing research on a variety of climate-related topics, such as the role of greenhouse gases and the effect of climate change on human societies, temperature tracking remains a crucial area of focus for understanding the specific risks faced by the GCC region.

Understanding these temperature changes is essential not only for public health but also for developing targeted mitigation and adaptation strategies. Further research is required to ascertain the implications of rising temperatures on the health of the inhabitants, as well as to identify opportunities for climate-resilient infrastructure and policies.

A 2022 report by Aeon Collective and Community Jameel, provided snapshot of the most current research on the state of climate and health in the GCC, giving equal value to what we do know, as well as what is still unknown. This report also highlights the need for further research, additional data and access to existing data that would bring to light new science backed evidence and knowledge for sound policy and decision making.
