High population growth, land-use change, pollution and climate change are increasingly putting pressure on the natural environment, including on its rich biodiversity. Egypt has achieved relative decoupling of greenhouse gas emissions from economic growth, though it needs to further mainstream climate action across sectors and progressively raise ambition. As one of the world’s most water-stressed countries, greater use of economic instruments would help address scarcity and improve water quality. As part of Egypt’s Vision 2030, the government is committed to turning environmental challenges into opportunities. It has taken steps to move towards more sustainable waste management and address air pollution, which remains a health concern. Egypt has significant potential to accelerate its clean energy transition. While environmental information and data have improved overall, public participation in environmental decision making needs to be further enhanced. This is the first Green Growth Policy Review of Egypt. It examines progress towards sustainable development and green growth over the past decade. The 40 recommendations aim to help Egypt improve its environmental performance, giving a special focus to building climate-smart, resilient and inclusive cities.Other editions: Parallele Sprachausgabe: مراجعة سياسة النمو الأخضر في مصر لمنظّمة التّعاون الاقتصادي والتّنمية 2024 (نسخة مختصرة); Parallele Sprachausgabe: Examen des politiques en faveur de la croissance verte de l'Égypte 2024 (version abrégée)PPN: PPN: 1906999236Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-13-SOC-ebook | ZDB-13-SOC
