Egypt is set to participate in the UN Ocean Conference that will be held in the Portuguese city of Lisbon between 27 June and 1 July.
“As a host of COP27, Egypt is setting it to be an important opportunity to redress the climate change crises and damage that mankind continues to inflict on marine life and livelihoods,” Egypt’s Ministry of Environment pointed out.
With delegates from the Member States, non-governmental organizations, and universities attending, the forum is designed to provide a space for the international community to push for the adoption of innovative, science-based solutions for the sustainable management of the oceans, including combating water acidification, pollution, illegal fishing and loss of habitats and biodiversity.
