On May 20, 2022, Egypt launched its National Strategy for Climate Change 2050, aimed at improving citizens' quality of life, fostering sustainable economic growth, and preserving natural resources.
Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the negative impacts of climate change, which threaten key sectors such as agriculture, water resources, coastal areas, health, population, and infrastructure. Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly highlighted these challenges during the launch of the national strategy, stressing that these impacts pose an additional layer of difficulty to the nation's ongoing challenges.
