Egypt leads the countries of North Africa in achieving SDG 15 which is about life on land. Egypt participated in Africa’s Great Green Wall project to combat desertification in 2019, and launched the project to transform Sharm el-Sheikh into a sustainable, green, eco-friendly city, as the first Egyptian, Arab and African city, next to El Alamein city of and the New Administrative Capital, among other positive initiatives launched by Egypt over the past years.
In addition to the foregoing, Egypt has enacted many laws, including the Environmental and Natural Resources Law, ratified the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, headed the 14th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 14) on Biological Diversity in 2018, launched the project to preserve migratory birds in 2018, which won the Global Energy Prize as one of the leading environmental projects in 2020.
