It provides an explanation of the nature of climate change, its causes, and its significant manifestations observed in the past few decades, in Egypt, the African continent, developing countries, developed countries, and their future expectations. The most significant socio-economic impacts of climate change on water availability, food production, land resources, infrastructure, and the environment are presented.
