Egypt, a representative example of emerging economies, faces significant challenges in achieving its sustainable development goals (SDGs). The Egyptian government has launched Egypt's Vision 2030, aligning with the 2030 Agenda, known as the Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS). This strategy encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions of development, with all development plans in Egypt being incorporated while being strongly guided by the SDGs. However, Egypt recognizes that fundamental challenges remain despite a strong willingness to achieve the SDGs. High birth rates, brain drain phenomena, water scarcity, migration, discrimination against women and girls, a growing informal sector, and instability in neighboring states (especially Libya and Syria) are among the many hindrances to sustainable development. To address these challenges, Egypt relies heavily on the SDGs, which are aimed at transforming our world. However, the question arises as to whether the SDGs are sufficient to facilitate such a transformation. This book explores the key environmentally related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and offers a cutting-edge assessment of current progress with a view to reaching these objectives by 2030. The book highlights some of the key findings and ideas for how research may help achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in enterprises. The book provides a useful framework that can help and aid the Egyptian government to assess the many goals and targets outlined in the 2030 Agenda. The analysis of Egypt can be used as a blueprint for other developing nations.
