The paper analyzes key initiatives and agreements aimed at addressing climate change, highlighting the AU's pivotal role in mitigating its negative impacts and promoting adaptation. Additionally, it investigates Egypt's contribution to activating international cooperation in addressing climate change. By examining factors that could enhance human security in Africa, the paper underscores the interconnectedness between sustainable development, human security, and international cooperation.
