Abstract

The focus of this paper is to study the root causes of climate change and its effects on Africa, and Egypt's approach to addressing these issues both domestically and on a continental level.  The paper uses an analytical research methodology, and a mixed-method approach, gathering empirical data on the impacts of climate change on the global South through correlation matrixes based on secondary data sources and qualitative desk resources from the Egyptian perspective. The main finding is that there is a significant correlation between climate risks in Africa and factors such as peace, debt, terrorism, and hunger. The paper suggests that South-South cooperation and integration could create a pathway to address the challenges posed by climate change, such as through COP-27. The Egyptian climate diplomacy towards Africa has prioritized the African perspective, focusing on understanding the reasons for vulnerability to climate risks and working to address these issues.
