UNDP Egypt’s Post

Climate adaptation is development—and Egypt is leading the way. #Egypt’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP), led by the Ministry of Environment and UNDP Egypt with support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), provides a strategic framework for strengthening resilience to climate impacts across agriculture, water, health, and cities. Why it matters: 🌾 Over 30% of Egyptians work in agriculture—highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and water scarcity 🌊 12% of the Nile Delta’s fertile land is at risk from sea level rise 🏘️ Millions remain exposed to climate shocks The NAP helps: 📌 Integrate adaptation into national planning and budgeting 📌 Promote community-led solutions in vulnerable areas 📌 Train government staff and empower local actors 📌 Mobilize finance for scalable, bankable adaptation projects By mainstreaming adaptation into development, Egypt is protecting lives, livelihoods, and building a climate-resilient future aligned with Vision 2030. 🔗 Learn more: https://go.undp.org/w3v
