During her inspection tour of the club, Fouad pointed out that the Ministry of Environment and Youth launched 33 climate clubs in June.
The clubs help the youth to gain environmental information on the issue of climate change to understand the conditions and problems of the environment and related negative practices to participate in finding new and unconventional solutions to them, the minister added.

She reviewed proposals for getting the private sector to contribute to this march for the best interests of all parties.
This fell within the framework of the minister's tour to follow up on the underway preparations for the United Nations climate Change Conference (COP27).
She hailed the meeting with the local community which is at the heart of the Egyptian strategy for protecting biodiversity.
She stressed the importance of protecting nature reserves, their resources and cultural and environmental heritage.
