AbstractAn increase of the temperature, decreased in precipitation and increased carbon dioxide emission , underlines the fact climatic changes which are affected in Egypt. Egypt is consid-ered one of the countries most affected by climatic changes, Agriculture is one target of such activity as emission levels are about 13% of the annual GHG emissions that are related to all human activities, high demand for energy because of an increase in the number of population, the rate of per capita consumption of energy, and energy needs in order to increase production. Also, the average per capita energy consumption in Egypt have been increased by significant statistically an annual rate of 2.74%, consumption of 1.000 dollars of gross national product of energy have been increased by significant statistically an annual of 0.79%. Despite the increase in the use of clean energy by significant statistically an annual rate annually reached about 2.08%, but the proportion of clean energy and renewable energy of the total consumption of energy have been reduced by a rate annually significant statistically reached about 0.23%, the green economy and green growth which will lead to the reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide with increasing power consumption and increase the gross domestic product. An increase in Egyptian GDP by about billion dollars, lead to an increase of total Egyptian energy consumption by about 0.176 Mt., with an increase of total Egyptian emissions of carbon dioxide by about 0.5 Mt. Greening the Economy with Agriculture refers to increasing food security while using fewer natural resources, through improved efficiencies throughout the food value chain. This can be achieved by applying an ecosystem approach to agriculture, forestry and fisheries management in a way that addresses the multiplicity of societal needs and desires, without jeopardizing options for future generations to benefit from all goods and services provided by terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The gains of the Egyptian economy heading toward the green economy: A shift to a green economy pathway could lead Egypt to achieve annual savings of over US$1.3 billion in the agriculture sector, and about US$1.1 billion in the water sector, as well as a 13% reduction in CO2 emissions, and a 40% reduction in water consumption.
