Government presents coast protection projects
The article focused on the efforts of the Egyptian government to protect the coasts of the Mediterranean and Red Seas from the risks of climate change. It reviewed projects extending over more than 120 kilometers aimed at mitigating the effects of rising sea levels and coastal erosion. Estimates indicate that climate change risks could lead to losses ranging from 82 to 106 billion Egyptian pounds in tourism revenues by 2060. Among the most prominent projects are the Climate Change Adaptation Enhancement Project in the North Coast and the Nile Delta, which has achieved 69% completion, and the Alexandria Coast Protection Project, which has reached 76%. These projects yield economic benefits such as land reclamation and investment protection, in addition to boosting tourism development and fisheries growth. They also serve to protect lives and property and create job opportunities. Internationally, Egypt’s efforts have been praised, as the country has collaborated with the United Nations and the World Bank to develop sustainable coastal management strategies and to enhance the resilience of coastal areas against the impacts of climate change.
