Qualité de l'air, espaces verts et politiques de durabilité in Bahrain
Air Quality Index
Bahrain's air quality trend is stable per database records, with current AQI and PM2.5/PM10 data unavailable. High emissions from industry and energy sectors contribute to pollution, primarily from fossil fuels and aluminum production. Government initiatives under the Supreme Council for Environment monitor air quality, but specific effectiveness data is limited.
Water Quality
Bahrain relies on desalination for drinking water, meeting international standards through treatment. Water scarcity is acute due to arid conditions and climate change, with pollution risks from industrial activities. Government monitors quality via the Supreme Council for Environment, ensuring safe access for its 1.7 million population.
Recycling System
Recycling infrastructure data is unavailable in the database, with no specified rate or types. Bahrain's waste management is challenged by high consumption and limited land, with initiatives under national sustainability plans but lacking detailed metrics.
Green Spaces
Bahrain has minimal natural forest cover due to its desert environment. Protected areas focus on coastal and marine ecosystems, with efforts to preserve biodiversity amid urbanization. National parks are limited, emphasizing mangroves and islands.
Environmental Policies
Bahrain's policies include net-zero emissions by 2060, 30% GHG reduction by 2035, and the National Adaptation Investment Plan addressing sea level rise, water scarcity, and extreme heat. The Supreme Council for Environment oversees MRV systems and environmental funds.
- •Net Zero by 2060
- •30% GHG Reduction by 2035
- •National Adaptation Investment Plan
Natural Disaster Risk
MODERATEBahrain faces risks from heatwaves, flash floods, and sea level rise as a low-lying island. Common disasters include extreme heat exceeding 40°C and occasional storms.
Sustainability Initiatives
Bahrain targets 30% GHG reduction by 2035 via energy efficiency in transportation and built environment. Committed to net-zero by 2060, with Technology Needs Assessment prioritizing mitigation technologies.
National Adaptation Investment Plan (NAIP) targets agriculture, water, biodiversity, and urban development against sea level rise, extreme heat, and scarcity.
Environmental protection fund and laws under Supreme Council support waste reduction, though specific recycling initiatives lack detailed public metrics.
