The roadmap serves multiple purposes, including aligning with the national blue economy framework, outlining the Ministry of Environment›s priorities in coastal and marine eco-tourism, synergizing with Line Ministries, addressing challenges, and leveraging existing initiatives. It also builds on prior collaboration within the context of the SwitchMed Project with UNEP to promote sustainable consumption and production (SCP) to align the country’s economic efforts to a circular economy. It adopts the same participatory approach and the overarching goals and objectives of the “Egypt Action Plan for Sustainable Consumption and Production” SCP NAP that was launched back in 2015.
