December 9, 2025 | Cairo, Egypt – an insightful online talk on Environmental Sustainability and Carbon Markets featuring Professor Hassan Aly, a leading expert in environmental economics and sustainability. This event offered a comprehensive overview of the dynamic world of carbon markets, exploring their history, significance, and how companies can get involved.

Professor Hassan Aly guided attendees through the foundational concepts of carbon markets, explaining their evolution, structure, and growing importance in the global fight against climate change. He delved into the mechanisms through which companies can reduce their carbon emissions while potentially profiting from trading carbon credits in global markets.

In addition, the talk focused on the development of carbon markets in the Middle East, specifically in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Professor Hassan Aly provided unique insights into how these countries are positioning themselves as key players in the emerging carbon economy, with an emphasis on their efforts to meet sustainability goals and combat climate change.

One of the key topics of the session was the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is expected to have a significant impact on Egypt’s export sector. Professor Hassan Aly discussed how this policy, which aims to impose carbon tariffs on imports from countries with less stringent environmental standards, could affect Egypt’s trade relationships and economic strategies moving forward.
