Blue Economy Roadmap- Advancing Marine and Coastal Eco-Practices - SwitchMed II - Egypt - FactSheet

Egypt, with its extensive coastlines along the Mediterranean and Red Seas, has significant potential to harness the blue economy's opportunities, which include sectors like tourism, fisheries, maritime transport, and renewable energy. The roadmap seeks to integrate sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices within these sectors, ensuring that economic growth does not come at the expense of environmental degradation. The roadmap is a response to the increasing pressures from climate change, pollution, and unsustainable resource exploitation on Egypt's coastal and marine ecosystems.
