Egypt’s latest NDC was produced in 2022 and was recently updated in 2023, the role of active travel is heavily undervalued in both versions of the NDC. The next NDC is planned to be published in 2025.
The objective of the paper is to recommend actions that would ideally be incorporated into the upcoming NDCs regarding active travel. These recommendations will focus on creating actionable steps related to walking and cycling, which will be endorsed into the upcoming plans towards achieving sustainable mobility.
