There are so-called donor countries that provide projects worth billions of dollars to counter these devastating effects on the planet, but so far they have not fulfilled these treaties, and have not paid even a quarter of what they pledged, and Egypt is among the countries affected. He explained that we must distinguish between two things: The major advanced industrial countries such as America and Europe are the cause of climate change, and the bill for this change is paid by developing countries such as Egypt, Africa, and some countries in Asia, and there are those who caused this global crisis facing the whole world from The first is the Kyoto Agreement, then the Glasgow Agreement, then Paris and so on. Galal continued: "We are currently observing a decrease in the level of freshwater worldwide, even in the state of Brazil, and Brazil is considered one of the largest countries that contain the amount of fresh water, as it represents 25% of the fresh water in the world, and it is called the lung of the world because of It contains the Amazon forests, and one-fifth of them currently remain because about four-fifths of these forests were lost in previous time periods.” ![]() necessary for agriculture, and there are some places that will have a total drought, such as sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Ahmed Galal, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture at Ain Shams University, said that climate change does not affect agriculture in Egypt only, but affects agriculture in the whole world for several reasons, including that climate change can lead to drought and a decrease in the amount of fresh water. ![]()
