What does climate change mean for Egypt?

The world has been in Egypt for COP27, the UN’s big climate
talks. It’s a country that’s already feeling the acute effects of
climate change – temperatures have risen by two degrees since
last century, damaging farming and driving up food prices.


Tensions are rising, but many are concerned that restrictions on
the right to protest and freedom of expression mean that climate
change is not getting the attention it deserves and preventing
Egypt from adapting.


The Climate Question hears how global warming is affecting Egypt
– and whether the government is listening.
