Energy Transition and Digital Transformation in the Arab Region: Shaping an Inclusive, Green Transformation in the Digital Age addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how Arab economies can simultaneously accelerate the energy transition, embrace digital transformation, and ensure affordability and inclusion. Historically reliant on hydrocarbons, the region now faces structural vulnerabilities, climate risks, and social inequalities. This reference provides a coherent framework to support policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in navigating these interconnected imperatives. The volume is structured into four sections. The first establishes foundations of energy transition and digital transformation, including affordability, policy landscapes, and SDG alignment. The second examines technological innovation, with chapters on artificial intelligence, smart grids, cybersecurity, digital twins, and circular economy models. The third section explores economic diversification and social impacts, covering labor markets, green jobs, gender and youth inclusion, and climate resilience. The final section addresses strategies, investments, and governance, including financing models, institutional reform, and regional cooperation, culminating in a roadmap for an inclusive and digitally enabled energy future. "Energy Transition and Digital Transformation in the Arab Region" benefits its audience by combining interdisciplinary insights with region-specific case studies and policy recommendations. It equips policymakers with frameworks for equitable energy reforms, guides practitioners in deploying emerging technologies for efficiency and resilience, and provides academics and students with original research and thematic synthesis. By aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this book is a strategic tool for advancing sustainable, inclusive, and competitive futures across Arab economies.
