Secretary General of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) Nasser Kamel lauded the efforts exerted by Egypt and Cyprus in the field of limiting the repercussions of climate change, asserting that the region is the second region affected by the climate change.
Kamel’s remarks came during the inauguration of Heads of State Summit for the launch of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) Climate Change Initiative (EMME-CCI) with the participation of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
Kamel urged all the main participants of all the concerned organisations to take urgent measures to limit climate change and adapt with it via international co-operation.
He said that the UfM will put a model for international and regional co-operation to combat climate change.
