Egypt on Monday hosted an introductory workshop for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), underscoring its push to strengthen the role of Global South scientists in producing climate knowledge and informing evidence-based policymaking. The event was attended by Bart Vanden Hurk, co-chair of IPCC Working Group II, UNDP Resident Representative Chitose Noguchi, along with scientists, climate experts and government officials. She stressed that developing countries should play an active role in generating global climate knowledge, rather than remaining passive recipients of externally produced assessments. According to Awad, Egypt’s national adaptation plan prioritises strengthening scientific capacity, advancing climate research and deploying technology, in line with the country’s Climate Change Strategy 2050 and Egypt Vision 2030. Noguchi praised Egypt’s progress on climate adaptation and stressed the importance of aligning policy measures with adequate financing to protect vulnerable sectors.
