The seminar is organised in cooperation with the Egyptian Institute of National Planning (INP) and Dcarbon Sustainability Consultancy company.

It will include climate awareness training for women in business and other female leaders since women are the segment in society that is most impacted by climate change – economically and socially, according to a statement released by the Top 50 Women Forum.

The agenda also includes discussions on the role of women in climate action and discussions on the role COP27 can play in propelling international efforts in combating climate change, according to the statement.

The TOP 50 Women Forum was set up by 50 Egyptian women who were recognised as the most influential women in the country's economy during the 'Egypt For the Best Summit' that was held in 2016.

The seminar will be attended by President of INP Ashraf El-Araby; CEO and Managing Director of the DCarbon Ehab Shalaby; and Hesham Eissa, the  Former Egyptian Focal Point at the UNFCCC, among others.
