Why Ecocitizen? A citizen in a climate change era• Energy crisis, urbanization and climate change are three global challenges
of the 21st century.
• They are closely interrelated whether by casual effect; where one causes the other, or they are three separate phenomena that have parallel impacts.
• Urban areas are major contributors to climate change as well as victims of it.
Cairo
• Cairo is rated to be second
• A mega city
