<p>As the world grapples with the consequences of anthropogenic emissions, the Middle East, and North Africa (MENA) region stands at a critical juncture. Renowned for its vast energy resources and burgeoning industrial sectors, the MENA region is both a significant contributor to global carbon emissions and a pivotal player in the transition towards sustainable development. Against this backdrop, exploring the potential of Direct Air Capture (DAC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) mineralisation within the MENA region may offer opportunities for innovation, economic diversification, and environmental stewardship. What is Direct Air Capture (DAC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) mineralisation? How can they be utilised in the fight against global climate change? Why are such processes gaining significance?</p>
