| Итог: | Climate change poses a significant threat to various sectors in Egypt, particularly the Nile
Delta. This study leverages spatial modeling, integrating remote sensing (RS) and
geographic information systems (GIS), to assess the vulnerability of the Nile Delta to
climate change. By analyzing factors such as salinization, reduced Nile flow, extreme
weather events, sea-level rise, and coastal erosion, this research aims to quantify sectorial
vulnerabilities and inform decision-making. Spatial models will be utilized to identify
areas most vulnerable to these impacts, enabling policymakers to prioritize investments,
target vulnerable areas, and develop effective adaptation plans. The paper included that
assess vulnerability quantitatively, used a composite index approach, combined multiple
indicators. Some potential indicators include (Exposure indicators, Sensitivity indicators
and Adaptive capacity indicators) By employing a vulnerability assessment framework
and utilizing various data sources and techniques, it's possible to identify areas with high
vulnerability to specific climate change impacts in the Nile Delta. |
