Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Mohamed Abdel Aati reviewed efforts exerted by African countries to protect their infrastructure from the impacts of climate change and lack of technology.
Addressing the Africa Climate Resilient Infrastructure Summit (ACRIS II) that was held in Addis Ababa on April 20-21, the minister said Egypt depends by 95 percent on the River Nile water to cover the needs of the different sectors.
He also underlined Egypt's efforts to face climate change via establishing facilities in the North Coast and Nile Delta to protect the country against the rise in sea level.
Participants in the summit include the African Union Commission, World Bank, African Climate Policy Center (ACPC) of the UN Economic Commission of Africa (UNECA).
Acris provides unrivaled opportunities for international participants to integrate their technologies, services and solutions into Africa’s climate resilient development plans, as the continent begins to develop its own vast infrastructure requirements.
