Abstract

Egypt, as a developing country, has faced significant challenges in addressing the impacts of climate change and ensuring sustainable development. Furthermore, the country is facing the challenge of reducing its carbon emissions while simultaneously growing its economy. To address this challenge, the Egyptian government has recently initiated policies aimed at transitioning towards a green economy. This paper aims to explore Egypt's efforts to transition towards a green economy essentially by decoupling GDP growth from carbon emissions, highlighting the progress made so far and the challenges ahead. The paper presents an overview of the various policy initiatives, investment strategies, and technological advancements that Egypt has employed to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable development. The paper recommends that Egypt adopt a complementary strategy that integrates climate action into its broader development objectives which would require concerted efforts from various stakeholders. Furthermore, Egypt needs to continue implementing sustainable policies and innovative solutions to reduce its carbon footprint while promoting economic growth.
