and climate transition,
• It will have to shape the development of equipment and activities with the ultimate objective of setting the
ground for a more energy efficient and a more green and resilient city,
• Lastly, the Governor and his administration will need to raise awareness of all public and mobilise all
stakeholders in the City of Hurghada to engage them to act in favour of this energy and climate transition.
Unless all citizens, all sectors of the tourism industry, all economic players, small industries, services and
fishermen move in the same direction combining energy conservation efforts, development of renewable
energy and climate adaptation, the city of Hurghada will not reach its ambitious objectives.
The Governorate should design the appropriate action plan, then lead, facilitate and monitor its implementation,
highlighting step by step, progress made and benefits for all public.
The best plan is the one, which is actually addressing the key strategic sectors, were a real progress can be achieved. To
pursue so, the SECAP for the City of Hurghada – Governorate of the Red Sea is established on the baseline emission
inventory (BEI), which clearly identifies those sectors, where specific efforts could actually result in major changes. A
good plan is also a plan that combines different types of actions: kick wins demonstrating direct benefits in
implementing the action plan; symbolic actions bringing visible changes in the daily life of the City of Hurghada’s citizens;
high return on investment action demonstration the business case behind the energy transition; more structural actions
that will only bring results in the long term, but are essential to establishing new trends in energy consumption and
production.
