Minister of Environment: The Egyptian sustainability plan for the climate conference was based on environmental and social foundations

Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment, Ministerial Coordinator and COP27 Envoy, said that Egypt presented an inspiring story in transforming Sharm El-Sheikh into a sustainable city, to become a living model for conference goers, and the world will look at what Egypt will offer to repeat this model in other Egyptian cities

The Minister of Environment pointed out that the COP27 sustainability plan is distinguished from previous conferences in the measures taken by the state to achieve sustainability in the host city of the conference, Sharm El-Sheikh, and also to achieve social distancing in the green zone, as an essential part of COP27 aimed at achieving sustainability.

Dr.Fouad said that Egypt has committed to presenting a distinguished version of the climate conference in which it took into account the process of carbon neutrality by reducing resource consumption and reducing carbon emissions to make the conference more sustainable
