The Ministry of Local Development and the Environment celebrated World Ozone Day 2026 under the motto "Global Action for a Cooler Planet," coinciding with the ten-year anniversary of the Kigali Amendment. Dr. Manal Abdel Aziz emphasized that the international community has successfully addressed environmental challenges through global cooperation and the implementation of the Montreal Protocol, which has led to the elimination of 99.6% of ozone-depleting substances. This achievement has contributed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 18 million tons of carbon dioxide. Egypt has made significant progress in this field by establishing an integrated national system and funding projects valued at approximately $43.6 million, with a goal to fully eliminate harmful substances before 2030. The country is also focused on enhancing energy efficiency and supporting domestic industry. The event highlights the importance of international and regional cooperation to preserve the ozone layer and combat climate change, as Egypt continues to commit to environmental agreements and develop national capabilities to promote sustainable development.
