Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly met with Environment Minister Yasmin Fouad on Tuesday to discuss the ministry’s progress on a range of initiatives aimed at improving waste management, environmental protection, and sustainable development.

Fouad highlighted the ministry’s commitment to supporting investors by issuing 1,682 environmental permits between January 1 and September 16, 2024. She also noted that contracts have been signed with five cement factories to manage and operate 13 waste recycling plants.

The minister emphasised the ministry’s focus on promoting green industry and sustainable development across various sectors, including waste management, natural reserves, and the industrial sector.

In the industrial sector, the ministry is working to promote green industrial practices by forming joint inspection teams with the Industrial Development Authority. These teams conduct inspections at factories to monitor their environmental improvement plans. The ministry is also finalising a sustainable green industry project that will support the industrial sector and focus on reducing carbon emissions.

Additionally, an agreement has been signed to support small and medium-sized enterprises as part of the efforts of the Environmental Protection Fund.
