© WitR/Adobe Stock In collaboration with the International Climate Initiative (IKI), this project supports Egypt in evaluating climate adaptation measures as part of a broader MENA region effort to advance low emission strategies.
Context & Challenge
Despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, Egypt faces significant climate vulnerability—particularly in sectors such as water, agriculture, and urban infrastructure. To achieve its national climate targets, Egypt requires robust policy instruments and evidence-based planning that align with low-emission development goals.
The IKI-led initiative fosters regional dialogue and knowledge exchange across the MENA region, helping countries implement tailored climate strategies. Egypt was selected for targeted support in assessing its current and planned adaptation measures.
Our Approach
HFFA Research is contributing to the project by participating in a stocktaking mission in Cairo. In collaboration with Egyptian stakeholders, we are conducting a cost-benefit analysis of various adaptation options, evaluating their effectiveness, feasibility, and long-term benefits. This evidence will guide the prioritization of strategies aligned with national climate commitments.
Key Insights
Egypt’s climate vulnerability calls for well-targeted, economically sound adaptation measures.
Stakeholder engagement and locally tailored evaluation are central to the effectiveness of adaptation strategies.
The project enhances national capacity to integrate adaptation into broader low-emission development planning.
