“…At the same time, we note on one hand the global nature of the water pollution concern, affecting severely the sustainable development (Qi et al, 2020), with water quality degradation being "a threat to not only human health and the environment, but also economic growth and social progress" (Ezbakhe, 2018). On the other hand there is also the climate emergency situation in which the world currently is (Arora and Mishra, 2019).…”

The importance of the effects of climate change has been emphasized on a variety of levels and from a number of different perspectives: on a country, regional or international level; affecting agriculture, energy, tourism, shipping, economic activities, various ecosystems as well as human health. It has been repeatedly recognized that climate change has a significant impact on freshwaters, including on their quality, availability and sustainability. From a different perspective, that of the circular economy, management strategies applied in respect to freshwaters have a direct impact on the climate. At the same time, improper waste management has a very high negative contribution to the latest climate changes, on one hand, and on the quality and availability of freshwater resources, on the other hand. Nevertheless, how all the three different above-mentioned elements – climate change, freshwater resources and waste management – are linked in the context of 2030 Agenda on sustainable development is yet to be thoroughly discussed in the scientific literature in the field of environmental law. Thus, by analysing a sample of the legal doctrine contributions published starting from 2016, as well as several official documents issued by the United Nations, we aimed to establish if all the three above-mentioned elements are interlinked and how they impact each other. As a result, we determined that there is a clear necessity for states to take unified measures to address climate change, protection and management of the freshwater resources and consistent waste management in the context of the Sustainable development goals (SDGs) introduced by the 2030 Agenda.

The study aimed to identify the main causes of climate change, the impact of climate change on inbound tourism to Egypt, and to evaluate the effects of climate change on tourist destinations in general and archaeological sites in Luxor and Aswan in particular. The study relied on a questionnaire to collect data to verify these objectives. 286 questionnaires were distributed randomly among faculty members, experts from the ministries of tourism, antiquities, environment, and the tourism development authority in many governorates within Egypt. The study analyzed 226 questionnaires using SPSS v.28 software. The results highlighted inadequate environmental human practices as the main cause of climate change. The study also showed that climate change has a strong impact on inbound tourism to Egypt through changes in tourists' perspective when making the decision to travel to Egypt. Furthermore, the study indicated that the most significant impact of climate change on tourist destinations was severe drought, while the most significant impact on archaeological sites was the negative impact on the colors of tombs and temples. The study recommended maintaining the climate of archaeological sites and reducing the impact of climate change on them by regulating the temperature and humidity in the buildings and structures surrounding them.

“…Environmental issues are tangled and cover many aspects, such as climate change, air pollution, water resource pollution, biodiversity loss, and land desertification (Kumar et al, 2023;Qi et al, 2020;Sharma et al, 2023). At present, environmental issues emerging at an alarming rate have been regarded as the greatest threat to human health (Mofijur et al, 2021;Ramírez-Malule et al, 2020).…”

In today's world, there is increasing recognition of the severity of environmental issues that can be addressed via the adoption of more pro-environmental behavior among people. Hospital workers, the guardians of human health, must be fully aware of the negative effects resulted from urgent environmental issues. However, it is unclear that the perception of proenvironmental behavior among hospital workers. To this end, we undertook a qualitative study via in-depth interviews to represent different thoughts of pro-environmental behavior. Four themes, opinion on pro-environmental behavior, level of pro-environmental behavior, hindering factors, and driving factors, were identified. The level of pro-environmental behavior was uneven, some workers had high pro-environmental behavior, while some were insufficient or even missing. Moreover, hindering factors and driving factors of hospital workers' pro-environmental behavior were different from the general public to some extent, specifically, the responsibility of work, standards and regulations in the medical field, organizational barriers, and physical mental feeling were the primary hindering factors, and
