Egypt launched, during COP27, an international initiative for adaptation in the water sector, Spokesman for the Water Resources and Irrigation Ministry Mohamed Ghanem said.
He added that efforts are focused on carrying out the projects under this initiative to attain a complete adaptation with climate changes in the developing countries especially the African states.
In statements to MENA Saturday 03/12/2022, Ghanem said that the projects will be implemented in the African countries as they are mostly affected by the climate changes in spite of being the least countries causing these climate changes.
