    Egypt Makes A history

    with integrated management plan for Egyptian coasts

Who We Are:

Egypt faces significant challenges due to accelerating climate change, with the Nile River Delta and the northern coast being the most vulnerable areas. In this context, the Egyptian government has launched the "Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation in the Nile Delta and North Coast" project, which aims to protect 69 kilometers of coastline in five vital governorates—Kafr El-Sheikh, Beheira, Port Said, Dakahlia, and New Damietta—using nature-based solutions, from the risks of sea-level rise.

Furthermore, the project works closely with relevant authorities to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for the integrated management of coastal areas along 1,200 kilometers of the Mediterranean coast. This plan aims to identify the most vulnerable areas and assess the potential impacts of sea level rise on groundwater and coastal sedimentation, according to future scenarios extending to the year 2100.

This project reflects the Egyptian government's serious commitment to addressing climate change challenges, its keenness to protect its coastlines and natural resources, and its dedication to ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

 

It is to strengthen national capabilities now

and in the future to adapt coastal areas to climate changes, starting in the areas most vulnerable to impact, and then expanding their scope within the framework of an integrated process for managing coastal areas in a way that ensures reducing negative impacts on economic activities and coastal communities

It is to enhance the resilience of local communities

in the northern coast and the Nile Delta in Egypt through integrated coastal management and to expand the use of soft engineering solutions and adaptation measures based on striking a balance between the various environmental systems in what is known as the ecosystem. These measures would reduce the potential negative effects of climate change and contribute effectively to achieving sustainable development of coastal areas.

Change - Cooperation - Integration

are the basic values of the methodology of the Adaptation Enhancement Project. The project is not a regular project that aims only to protect low lands and implement a new methodology for work, but it directly targets the human resource, addressing people that change and capacity development is the way to live safe and sustainable, and that success is not in individuality, but in Cooperation, and that preference is in integration. The Adaptation Enhancement Project is a humanitarian step towards a better future.

The project aims to reduce the risks of coastal flooding

in the northern coast and the Nile River Delta region of Egypt, especially in the five (5) most vulnerable and endangered hotspots within the Nile Delta with a length of 69 km, which were identified during the engineering scoping study and the technical feasibility study, and it is also working on developing a plan Integrated coastal zone management for the entire northern coast to manage the risks of climate change in the long term, and to provide Egypt with the ability to adapt to the imminent flood risks.
