Opis

Community health nurses play a central role in mitigating the effect of climate change on public health and adapting to the phenomenon. Therefore, have a crucial role in keeping climate change in mind. (Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia, 2022). Egypt is highly vulnerable to climate change, with the projected increase in heat waves, dust storms, storms along the Mediterranean coast, and extreme weather events. Stronger warming has been documented over the past 30 years, with average annual temperatures increasing by 0.53 degree Celsius per decade. The country's climate risks are and will impact the younger generations of today (UNICEF/Egypt, 2022).
