Orientations of the Egyptian Environmental Policy in in Sustainable Community Development

Abstract

Egypt is facing many environmental challenges that represent a source of degradation of natural resources for its residents and threaten the future of coming generations, these challenges arise and the environment from the inability of the resources available to meet the needs of the population as well as the misuse of the availability of these resources.

Desertification and pollution are topping the list of problems in Egypt in addition to the lack of water supply and the growing population with a tremendous increase in the volume of waste, particularly the dangerous industrial waste, in the light of the low level of awareness of the importance of the environmental issues.
