Egypt is characterized by diverse geological features and landforms, ranging from extensive arid deserts, mountainous ranges, and coastal areas to the fertile Nile Valley and Nile Delta. This paper examines climate risks across the national, regional, and local levels, with a particular focus on the vulnerabilities Egypt is currently facing without the integrated engagement of landscape architects. It discusses the current state of the landscape architecture profession in Egypt, as well as the existing gaps and missed opportunities of recognizing landscape architects as critical actors in climate change adaptation and sustainable development efforts. Landscape architecture lies at the nexus of planning, policymaking, and implementation; thus, it can have a transformative impact in building climate-resilient communities and sustainable landscapes across Egypt.
