4. CONCLUSION Low cost and environmental friendly adaptation options have been constructed in Egypt. An assessment of those options against extreme events in 2016, 2017 and early 2018 shows that they provide protection against sea inundation. Based on the success of this pilot project, The GoE has been able with assistance from the UNDP to secure a grant from the Green Climate Fund. This grant will enable Egypt to almost protect the entire low land in the Nile Delta using flexible techniques covering a length of 69 kms.
