The Academy of Scientific Research and Technology in Egypt (represented in the Council of Future Studies and Risk Management) and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport will hold the Third International Conference for Future Studies and Risk Management at Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport headquarters in Alexandria, Egypt.

The world faces several global challenges, which is climate change and the challenges that follow in the sectors of agriculture, food and energy. The Davos Economic Forum classified climate change as the most dangerous existential threat humanity faces. The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has manifested itself as a major turning point for the world. Future scenarios and simulations for such crisis must portray expected models to calculate the magnitude of the risks to each sector, especially the aforementioned sectors. In Egypt, there is a great challenge, the increase in population and the pressure on facilities and resources. Furthermore, educational and health services must provide to a large number of people. To add, there are expectations of higher unemployment rates and an increase in social problems. Lastly, redistributing the population increase over a larger area may entail higher costs that exceed available funds.
