Egypt is emerging as a key player in the global energy transition, drawing substantial international investments in renewable energy and green hydrogen. A new report by Greenpeace MENA and MENAFem scrutinizes European investments in Egypt's energy and agriculture sectors, raising concerns about their impact on local communities. While Egypt has ambitious plans for green projects like the Benban Solar Park, the report questions the benefits these initiatives bring to the people and the environment. Greenpeace MENA and MENAFem advocate for a shift towards community-led renewable energy solutions, emphasizing the importance of phasing out fossil fuels and promoting sustainable agriculture. They highlight grassroots initiatives like the Sinaweya Initiative and SEKEM as models for ecological restoration and local empowerment. The report stresses the need for inclusive and equitable sustainability efforts that prioritize people and the environment in economic decision-making. It calls for foreign investments in Egypt to foster genuine partnerships, promote self-determination, and prioritize national interests over dependency. Ultimately, the study urges Egypt to shape its renewable energy, hydrogen, and agricultural sectors in alignment with the wellbeing of its citizens, albeit through a reform of the global financial system. This push for a just and inclusive green transition in Egypt reflects a critical stance on current extractivist economic models, emphasizing the importance of community empowerment and environmental sustainability.
