The global implications of climate change on the environment have become obvious – even to non-experts. The week aims to spread awareness of climate change internationally, while stressing links with other SDGs such as green finance, renewable energy, and sustainable land use. Our cooperation with Egypt in the climate-relevant field focuses on sustainable energy, water sanitation, and waste management projects. We have arranged several events that aim to raise awareness of the implications of climate change to Egyptians of all sorts, including youth and children. On the international level, the Paris Agreement on climate change – a landmark global agreement adopted by almost 200 countries, including Egypt – sets out an action plan to bring the world on track, and avoid serious climate change.
