  1. Egypt Sustainable Development (SD) Criteria • Egypt’s National Environment Action Plan (NEAP), Egypt’s National Strategy Study (NSS) on the CDM and other policy documents provide CDM screening criteria regarding sustainable development indicators

  2. SD entails a pattern of growth in which economic, social, as well as environmental conditions are equally considered and carefully balanced, leading to living standards for future generations which are no worse off, if not better, than present ones • In this aspect: • Environmental protection and • A balanced use of natural resources must constitute an integral part of the development process.

  3. In Egypt, as the available natural resources must support a rapidly increasing population: • Sound management of such resources, • Continuous improvement of the protection of the environment

  4. MSEA & EEAA, meet this challenge by continuously striving for the integration of the environmental dimension into national policies, plans and lines of action. • This is carried out with an immediate focus on the reduction of pollution and the conservation of Egypt's natural resources through effective environmental management.

  5. The Policy Framework Objective: • To achieve at the local, regional, national and international levels environmental protection through the establishment of proper institutional, economic, legislative and technical frameworks.

  6. The Policy Framework (Cont.) Directives of the policy statement of the MSEA: • Strengthening partnerships at the national level. • Supporting bilateral and international partnerships in the environmental fields. • Enforcing Law 4 of 1994 for the protection of the environment, and Law 102 of 1993 for Natural Protectorates and all other environmental legislation. • Supporting institutional strengthening and capacity building for the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency and Environmental Management Units (EMU’s) of the governorates. • Supporting integrated Environmental Management Systems. • Integrate the use of market-based instruments in the field of environmental protection. • Transfer and adaptation of environmentally friendly technologies.

  7. Underlying Principles The implementation of the environmental policies of the government of Egypt, is carried out with four main principles underlying environmental management and protection initiatives: • Strengthening the integrative capacity of central and local government. • Strengthening of public - private partnerships. • Partnerships with environmental nongovernmental organizations. • The integration of gender issues in environmental policies and programs.

  8. CDM Projects and Egypt SD Priorities • The SD dimension should be seen as a main driver for developing country interested in participating in the CDM. • The application of SD indicators to CDM project evaluation is a tool for checking how the CDM potentiality can be used to create synergies with host country development objectives. • The first step of an effort to assess the SD impacts of CDM projects is for the host country to define and select specific aspects of and goals related to Sustainable Development that are considered to be important. • Egypt Strategy for CDM stipulates that the CDM project should, basically, satisfy, collectively or solely, criteria categorized in the next table for achieving SD.
