One element and thousands of gifts, water. Since 3100 BC and until now water has been Egypt’s most valuable belonging. However, climate change is bringing new challenges to the scene. It’s affecting agriculture, economy and communities. What are the main challenges for managing water in Egypt? What solutions can be offered through technology, policy and education? Why is Egypt a very striking example? The 86th Cairo Climate Talks panel discussion will bring together policymakers, technology experts, scientists, and civil society representatives to explore local solutions to the challenges Egypt’s water resources face. The experts will discuss the priorities, increasing the investments and public-private.
