CAIRO, Nov 3 (MENA) - The Egyptian government has updated its sustainable development strategy to better cope with new and emerging challenges, including population growth, climate change and water scarcity, the planning minister said. Water - though not included in the Paris Agreement - remains an integral aspect of efforts to counter climate change, Saeid said. Climate change is increasingly affecting water security by the day, she noted. The minister touched upon three national strategies the government intends to apply for the economy to go green, namely the national strategy for climate change, the national strategy for hydrogen and the national strategy for water resources. Saeid also talked about projects that are meant to enhance Egypt's ability to adapt with climate change.
