“…Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide will have a positive effect on crop productivity through increasing the ability of plants to conduct photosynthesis (El Massah and Omran, 2014;Mahrous, 2018), but from the other hand, the high temperature also affects the growth process. Table (2) shows that the productivity of the wheat in Egypt will decrease by 15% if the temperature increases about 2°C in 2050, the productivity of the rice, maize, Soybeans, barley will decrease by 11%, 14%, 28%, 20%, respectively.…”

Climate change has adverse effect on agricultural production in developing countries, especially in those with low incomes and a high rate of hunger and poverty. Although the agricultural sector will be costly to adapt to climate change, it is essential to achieving food security. This study aims to analysis the impact of climate change on agriculture and adaptation mechanisms in Egypt during the period (1980:2018) using Autoregressive Distributed Lags Model (ARDL). The empirical results inferred that most of the variables are insignificant in the short-run. In the long run, the empirical results revealed that the impact of climate change on agricultural production, including the emissions of carbon dioxide and temperature, is positive. Hence, even if the impact of the rain variable is negative, but its value is low, and then Egypt has not entered a critical or dangerous stage. On the other hand, the results indicated that the research directed at increasing productivity and developing new varieties more compatible with climate changes is insufficient. Even if the research is available, the Egyptian farmer does not use it due to lack of agricultural Extension. For mechanical and chemical technology effect, the long-run coefficient of Fertilizers is insignificant. The long-run coefficient of the number of tractors is negative and significant, while rural population coefficient is positive and significant. This means that Egyptian agriculture is more dependent on manpower than mechanical technology

“…Moreover, studies show that climate change is going to have various other effects on the Egyptian economy. The state is highly dependent on the import of cereals, and the growing threat of climate change may have a negative impact on their supply (El Massah and Omran, 2014). Other inherent social challenges include informal economy and corruption, as well as spillovers from conflicts in neighbouring states, which have negative effects on the development in Egypt and in the region.…”

This paper explores the prospects of Egypt in achieving sustainable development goal 9 (sustainable industrialisation). It looks at the national policy efforts of the new government and finds that environmentally-sound industrial production and overall sustainable industrial development is a priority in the country's vision. The analysis then takes a closer look at three case studies of attempts of the Egyptian Government to promote sustainable industrial development by establishing or developing eco-industrial parks (Robbiki Eco-Leather Park, El-Safaa Metal Foundries Zone and Shaq Al-Thu'ban Marble Technology Park). The analysis of the three cases outlines a number of factors impeding the success of these attempts; including weak policy and regulatory frameworks, lack of strong enforcement mechanisms, poor planning, lack of financial resources to support the relocation of most vulnerable (smallest) enterprises and the negative impact of informal economy and criminal elements. The paper concludes with several recommendations to overcome these obstacles.

“…EIPs as a manifestation of industrial symbiosis have received considerable attention in the literature in recent years. While the conceptual ideas underpinning the creation of EIPs stem from industrial ecology, recent discussions of these practices have invloved a broader debate on sustainable development in the context of climate change (ElMassah & Omran, ).…”

Industrial symbiosis within eco‐industrial parks: Sustainable development for Borg El‐Arab in Egypt

This paper explores how industrial symbiosis within eco‐industrial parks (EIPs) can help advance sustainable development in Egypt. Based on industrial ecology theory, this study focuses on the industrial zone of Borg El‐Arab near Alexandria and explores possibilities to transform it, or parts of it, into an EIP. It identifies opportunities for possible by‐product exchange in the third industrial zone of Borg El‐Arab, which has the highest solid waste output. The study then presents a pilot model of a brownfield EIP and suggests that the benefits from exchange of by‐products would be enhanced even further if some factories are created to close the loop of industrial processes in the zone (brick production, animal feed, fish farms, and organic fertilizer production). These conclusions confirm that there is potential to improve environmental performance of the Borg El‐Arab Industrial City and align it with national and global sustainable development goals.
