The European Union (EU) Delegation to Egypt, in partnership with the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI), celebrated World Water Day with an event focusing on “Glacier Preservation” at Triumph Luxury Hotel – New Cairo. Glacier preservation is critically significant for ensuring sustainable water resources necessary for drinking, agriculture, energy production, and maintaining healthy ecosystems globally. Egypt particularly faces significant threats from rising sea levels and altered water availability caused by glacier melting, impacting its coastal regions and agricultural productivity.
The EU-Egypt Water Partnership, the Team Europe Initiative for Integrated Water and Food Security, and the upcoming Cairo Water Week 2025 exemplify the strong collaboration between the EU and Egypt. These joint initiatives demonstrate the shared commitment towards enhancing water resilience, securing sustainable food production, and adopting climate adaptation measures, reflecting the strategic partnership between the two sides.
The event includes presentations, ministerial speeches, the signing of Memoranda of Understanding, youth interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, reinforcing the joint efforts towards sustainable water practices and climate resilience. This collaborative initiative reinforces EU and Egypt’s mutual commitment towards achieving sustainable development and addressing global climate challenges.
