About
Overview:The JP aimed to help Egypt align its climate risk management and human development efforts in order to achieve the MDGs. It sought to reduce poverty and mitigate risk by developing mitigation and adaptation strategies with special attention given to the poor and the most vulnerable populations of Egypt. Under outcome 1 the JP supported the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs for Mitigation, while Outcome 2 worked on Adaptation by supporting the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. Outcome 3 focused on advocacy to strengthen the impact of all project activities. As a result of the JP’s actions there is increased awareness on energy at government level. In addition, market dialogues have been initiated in three targeted sectors to promote solar water heaters at a national level. The Energy Efficiency Unit (EEU) was strengthened and the Awareness and Promotion Unit (APU) was created. Policy recommendations were provided and the Environmental Protection Fund is now supporting the implementation of certain projects. The JP sought to strengthen capacity of staff at the level of policy making and to increase awareness to climate change. An economic analysis was performed to identify priority adaptation measures. In addition, a one of a kind Regional Circulation Model was developed for the Nile basin to forecast precipitation under higher temperatures expected as a result of climate change. The JP was the first time the UN system supported identification of climate change risks and development of climate change policies to mitigate and to adapt to these risks in Egypt. Intervention strategies were proposed, and as a result new programmes were created under the auspices of other donors, including: integrated coastal zone protection from sea level rise, monitoring of salt water intrusion to minimize impacts to agriculture sector, new carbon mechanisms, and energy efficiency. New programmes valued at US$15 million were created with support from other International Agencies including: integrated coastal zone protection from sea level rise, monitoring of salt water intrusion to minimize impacts to agriculture sector, new carbon mechanisms, and energy efficiency.
