Abstract. This study examines the influence of climate change on Food security and sustainable development in Saudi Arabia from 1981 to 2022 using ARDL approach. Through the ecological footprint, alongside rainfall, population, agricultural growth, and GDP per capita. The results show a consistent negative impact of climate change on Food security in both the short and long run. Specifically, a 1% increase in the ecological footprint leads to a significant decline in Food security, confirming long-term structural vulnerabilities. These findings highlight the need for climate-resilient agricultural policies and sustainable resource management aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
Keywords: climate change, ecological footprint, food security, Saudi Arabia, Sustainable Development.
