Housing ministry: Egypt works for supporting LCBI

Egypt is relentlessly working for supporting the Low Carbon Building Initiative (LCBI), while taking into account the social responsibility for securing affordable housing for low-income households, Assistant Minister of Housing for technical affairs Abdel Khaleq Ibrahim said.

Ibrahim made the remarks while participating in a ministerial meeting for low-carbon buildings, held in Paris as part of the first Buildings and Climate Global Forum, co-organized by France and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), on March 7-8, according to a press release by the ministry on Saturday 16/03/2024.

He said the State is also trying to strike a balance between its social commitments to improve citizens’ quality of life by offering decent housing, and its international commitments to protect the environment, cut harmful emissions, and minimize consumption of essential resources, especially water and energy.
