Abstract

Heritages provide tangible evidence of human development and civilization. However, most unique heritages are in danger due to climate change. The driving force behind the escala-ting rate of ecological change is human activity. Egypt is particularly vulnerable to the impact of climate change. This study aims to analyze possible adaptation measures for present climate change effects in Egypt, with a focus on the archaeological heritage site, the tombs of Kom El-Shouqafa in Alexandria, as a case study. It will also discuss the efforts of the Egyptian government to mitigate climate change effects by taking a holistic approach. This study will determine the local and regional priorities and barriers to adaptation to climate change. The study proposed some measures that facilitate the transition from conflict to cooperation considering diverse perspectives.
