& nbsp;
Dr. Mohamed Hassan explained during the presentation of the various components of the project, where the project creates and operates networks to monitor global warming and short -term climate pollutants and integrate them with the current networks, implement a plan for the integrated climate management and air quality, where an international coalition was contracted to implement the activity, and it took place Forming a committee for the National Climate Management and Air Quality Management Plan, pointing to the project’s interest in supporting the waste management infrastructure through the establishment of facilities and infrastructure for the Integrated Management Management facility to treat waste in the tenth of Ramadan and work to close and rehabilitate the waste mold in & quot; Abu Zaabal mold & quot; And the establishment of intermediate stations in plasma and Khanka – Qaliubiya Governorate and contributing to the numbers of the environmental development plan for the industrial zone in Al -Akrcha – Qaliubiya Governorate, the guiding project for electrical buses, preparing a detailed design for the guideline project to purchase 100 electrical buses and shipping equipment, and work to update the infrastructure of the Emiri garage to continue the electrical buses , In addition to the effective and integrated management of electronic waste, and healthcare waste, the project also implemented a series of workshops to raise awareness of the importance of exploiting the straw and burning it.

Tantawi added that Egypt has achieved great success in adopting more sustainable and low carbon transportation, as the transport sector achieved a significant decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by a decrease of 16.86% compared to the usual work levels for the same year, and exceeded this The goal of the year 2030 is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7%. The importance of carbon fingerprint and carbon certificates, explaining that the carbon fingerprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, expressing it with carbon dioxide, which is sufficient and caused by human activities and is notified to know the environmental impact of all activities of the facility and determine the chances of reducing carbon, which contributes to climate change and reduce environmental deterioration, a sign To the importance of & nbsp; carbon markets that stimulate innovation & nbsp; companies for solutions to reduce their emissions, and to achieve economic efficiency that provides a flexible and effective mechanism for reducing emissions, financing climate projects through & nbsp; the proceeds from selling carbon balances.
