On 5 and 6 December 2018, the third Alexandria Dialogue entitled “Egypt in 2050: The Anthropocene: What Will a Sustainable Life in Egypt in 2050 Be Like?”, was held at Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
The Alexandria Dialogues are a series of interactive engagements discussing the future of Egypt in the year 2050 that is held through a partnership between the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (represented by the CSSP) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator Office Egypt (UN RCO), the Office of the Highest Representative of the United Nations in Egypt, as per the signed Memorandum of Understating (MoU) between both parties, last July 2018. These dialogues seek to build scenarios, examine future socioeconomic challenges and uncover sustainable pathways towards vibrant and prosperous Egypt in 2050. Using the latest foresight techniques, the Alexandria Dialogues offer opportunities to a broad spectrum of decision-makers to exchange ideas, perspectives and points of views about a sustainable future for Egypt in 2050.
December Dialogue was attended by 28 experts, representing different Egyptian Sectors, discussing the direct and indirect impact of climate change: the importance of water in all its dimensions, energy sources, resilience, consumption patterns, technological innovation, spatial development and urbanization; emerging health risks and opportunities, food production and security.
