The “Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation in the North Coast of Egypt” project aims to protect the densely populated low-lying lands in the Nile Delta, the home of 25% of the Egyptian population, which have been identified as highly vulnerable to climate change induced sea-level rise. The project is implemented by the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation with a total budget of USD 31.4 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as Accredited Agency, over seven years in addition to co-financing from the Government of Egypt. The project is coordinated by the Ministry of Environment.
