Abstract


Desert-based solar projects can aid in addressing the global demand for renewable energy due to their high solar irradiance and vast land availability. These projects are increasingly important as the world seeks sustainable energy solutions to combat climate change. However, they face significant risks such as extreme weather conditions, logistical challenges, water scarcity, and socio-political complexities, which must be managed to ensure their success and sustainability. Therefore, susrainable risk management and mitigation strategies need to be employed.
