In light of the fact that 2022 is the year of civil society and in our belief in the necessity of supporting the Egyptian state in adopting... Important topics and issues that are in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and in preparation for Egypt’s holding of the World Climate Conference in November 2022 in Sharm El-Sheikh. A panel discussion was held entitled"Climate Change Threats and Ways of Confrontation" on Wednesday. Corresponding to March 16, at four in the afternoon, for three hours. Professor Dr./ Tareq Ahmed Tamraz.. Professor of Marine Environment and Pollution, Director of the Master’s Program in Climate Change Management at Suez Canal University

Where Dr. Tamraz began the session by defining"climate change" as you know it IPCCIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC as changein the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the rate or variables in its characteristics that last for a long period, usually decades or longer, and refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to changes in Natural or resulting from human activity..

 

Among the points discussed is the difference between the term “mitigation” and “adaptation”, where “mitigation” means reducing gas emissions. Heat preservation from various sectors through the use of clean technology, fuel replacement, and the use of renewable energies (wind - sun - waterfalls - and bio). As for “adaptation,” it means responding to the effects of climate change and coexisting with the conditions resulting from those conditions, such as developing new strains of crops that tolerate salinity and high temperature, and optimizing the use of water resources through the application of German subsistence policies and rationalization of consumption.

Tamraz pointed out that climate change has several long-term consequences, which are: In

1. It leads to disruption of the Earth's biological system in general .
2. Increase in average atmospheric temperature .
.
3. The negative impact on the productivity of agricultural land and the increase in its water needs .
4. The negative impact on public health and the transmission of epidemic diseases .
5. Negative impact on fish wealth .
6. Decrease in national income resulting from tourism as a result of changing climate conditions, sinking beaches, and bleaching of reefs Corals, negative impact on archaeology.

 

Tamraz explained that the Egyptian state has made many efforts and implemented a number of large national projects at the level of mitigation and adaptation, and that civil society must unite its efforts to try to confront this phenomenon by During the implementation of a number of activities, including, for example:

1. Organizing awareness campaigns to promote the importance of alternative energy and issuing periodic publications Specialized.
2. Using technological means such as educational films, video films, and educational tapes in curricula and classroom and extracurricular educational activities
Activating community theater to address issues of change Climate. Creating and activating pages on Facebook And Twitter. Activating community journalism such as bulletins and newspapers The wall. Lectures, seminars, competitions and celebrations Seasonality..
3. Establishing environmental clubs for children and youth, and running programs to introduce energy concepts and environmental issues And climate.
And other various activities and Multi..

At the end of the session, the door was opened for questions and inquiries about the topic of the session, and all questions were answered.
