The Arab States host the largest share of migrant workers globally as a proportion of their total workforce, with 41.4% recorded in 2019\. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and others, are particularly dependent on migrant labor, with non-nationals often comprising the majority of their populations and workforces. [Migrant workers are concentrated](https://www.ilo.org/sites/default/files/2024-07/iloROAS-labour-migration%20report-March2024-web.pdf?ref=newsletters.qs.com) in sectors such as construction and domestic work, where they constitute up to 95% of employees. Despite their significant contribution to economic growth, challenges persist in collecting comprehensive labor migration data and ensuring adequate protections for these workers.

Amazon's achievement as the leading purchaser of clean energy in 2022, with a contracted capacity of 12.4 GW, reflects a significant [trend among corporations ](https://www.pv-tech.org/corporations-purchased-record-clean-power-in-2022-bloombergnef/?ref=newsletters.qs.com)worldwide towards renewable energy procurement. This surge indicates a growing commitment across various industries to reduce carbon footprints and transition to sustainable energy sources. It's further supported by initiatives like RE100, where companies commit to sourcing 100% renewable energy, indicating a collective movement towards sustainable business practices.

The US expenditure significantly surpasses that of other countries, with China following at $165 billion, highlighting the rising prevalence of the disease and the substantial financial burden diabetes places on healthcare systems.
