This document comprises the city’s Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plan (SEACAP). It is a strategic planning document as well as a practical municipal operational tool. It defines the city’s climate action framework with quantifiable objectives to be reached by 2030 based on a Baseline Emissions Inventory (BEI) and an assessment
of climate adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable energy needs. The SEACAP was developed under the framework of the European Union’s Clima-Med project (Acting for Climate in South Mediterranean Cities). It complements and is in line with national climate strategies and goals as well as with local development plans. The SEACAP was prepared with the full participation of the city’s leadership, its technical team, and in collaboration with the Regional Coordination Group led by the Governorate of the Red Sea. By preparing the SEACAP, the city took an advanced step in proving its willingness and dedication to face climate change, reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and build a model sustainable village with a clear vision, objectives, targets, and actions.
