| Global climate change is caused by the effect of greenhouse gases emitted mainly from human activities .It has wide ranging implications on people, the economy ,and the natural & built environment in the world. Public concern started to arise with the risk of global climate change. It is so important to do the inventory of GHG emitted from each sector of the scope of Third National Communication (TNC) project conducted in the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) and funded by GEF through the UNDP office in Egypt. But, the inventory itself didn't give the full picture which can help the decision makers in the Egyptian Government to take actions in this regards in the suitable time.
The aim of this TOR is to raise the capacity of the TNC team and all members of the stakeholders working in the TNC from different institutions for doing the emissions projection and modeling task (with the suitable scenarios) in order to prepare the policy needed to be conducted. So, TNC of Egypt is in great need to train the teams in the area of climate change mitigation modeling by using LEAP model which is used by many countries and institutions all over the world in this area of concern.
