Environment min. to MENA: We work to add other Egyptian cities to ICLEI network
File- Egyptian Minister Yasmine Fouad during the press conference on June 1, 2025- press photo CAIRO- 9 June 2025: Minister of Environment Yasmine Fouad said her ministry is working to add other Egyptian cities to the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) global network after the Red Sea resort city of Sharm El Sheikh was designated as Egypt's first green city few days ago by the network. In statements to MENA on Monday, Fouad said that Sharm El Sheikh joined the ICLEI network, thanks to its sustainable development strategy, citing the injection of investments worth EGP 800 million in the new and renewable energy sources in the city to produce 51 megawatts of clean energy, the establishment of 145 kilometers of bike lanes, the introduction of a public bike-sharing system and robust solid waste management systems. She added the next phase will focus on activating the Sustainable Environmental and Social Strategic Development Strategy (SESSDS), through banning the use of single-use plastic in 50 hotels, empowering local community initiatives, especially in protected areas and coastal areas, and expanding partnerships with the private sector and international supporters.
