Egypt's Ministry of Local Development and Environment has signed an agreement to implement a smart weather monitoring system utilizing drones, artificial intelligence, and geospatial analysis technologies. Dr. Manal Awad, Minister of Local Development and Environment, witnessed the signing, which aims to enhance local, environmental, and urban governance. The system will provide real-time field monitoring and analysis to improve environmental and urban oversight, benefiting citizens' daily lives and strengthening data-driven decision-making. Key applications include supporting urban planning, combating building violations, monitoring waste management and the black cloud phenomenon, tracking encroachments on nature reserves, and aiding afforestation efforts under the presidential initiative to plant 100 million trees. It will also facilitate environmental inspections, urban monitoring of public facilities, and crisis and emergency management through real-time monitoring and spectral imaging for pollution tracking. This initiative is seen as a significant advancement in regulatory work, aligning with Egypt's digital transformation goals and Vision 2030 objectives by leveraging modern technology to boost government performance.
