  Global temperature is increasing and that the main cause is the accumulation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a result of human activities.The economic costs alone will be very large: as extreme weather events such as droughts and floods become more destructive and frequent; communities,cities, and island nations are damaged or inundated as sea level rises; and agricultural output is disrupted.Impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity are also likely to be devastating.But what about Climate change impacts on water resources and agriculture in North African regions and especially on Egypt country? North Africa is vulnerable to climate change impacts.Scenarios predict an average rise in annual temperatures, higher than the average expected for the planet.Heat waves would then be more numerous, longer and more intense.North Africa would be particularly affected by droughts that would be more frequent, more intense and longer-lasting.
