Ministry launches Al-Yawmi Al-Bi'yi and opens Cairo monitoring station
The Ministry of Local Development and Environment organized an "Environmental Day" event at Cairo University and launched a modern air quality monitoring station in collaboration with the Air Pollution and Climate Change Management Project, funded by the World Bank with a total of $200 million. This included upgrading ten monitoring stations, adding black carbon and ultra-fine particle measurements for the first time in Egypt, and establishing two new stations at Cairo University and Al-Azhar University. Additionally, the Risk Reduction Center was equipped with modern measurement devices to support scientific data collection and decision-making. A plan was also prepared to manage severe air pollution episodes. The World Bank praised the improvement in air quality in Cairo, attributing it to projects promoting clean transportation, such as the metro. Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Elawadi, emphasized that improving air quality is a national responsibility that requires scientific expertise, innovation, and modern data to support early warning systems and combat climate change.
