Egypt’s Irrigation Minister Calls Coastal Protection Projects a Successful Climate Adaptation Model

Egyptian Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hani Sweilam described coastal protection projects as a successful model for adapting to climate change.

His remarks came as he received a report from Mohamed Ghattas, head of the Shore Protection Authority.

Coastal protection is a key area of climate adaptation, helping shorelines cope with risks linked to rising seas and changing weather conditions.

Sweilam’s assessment highlighted the role of these projects in Egypt’s response to climate-related coastal challenges. The brief statement did not provide details of the report’s findings or identify individual projects.
