National Action Plan for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in Egypt 2015: SwitchMed in Egypt

This document is intended to identify key priority activities and projects needed to support the creation of sustainable communities and cities in Egypt through the promotion of sustainable consumption and production patterns. The identified set of projects constitute the main element of the SCP Action Plan guided by Egypt’s Green Economy Strategy and the 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy. This list of projects is the result of an extensive consultation process and is a translation of the principles of Green Economy (GE) and Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in key economic sectors in the form of practical projects on the ground. This project is a continuation of efforts by the Egyptian Ministry of Environment in collaboration with international partners, particularly the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to pave the way for mainstreaming green economy and sustainable consumption and production related policies as tools to achieve sustainable development.
