Abstract

The past few decades have witnessed global and local interest in the role of civil society in environmental protection issues, spreading environmental awareness, protecting human rights, and spreading a culture of volunteer work, especially since NGOs are voluntary organizations that work with others, and very often work for the benefit of others, and their work and activities focus on Issues and people outside the scope of its staff and membership, and it covers a very wide field, starting with loosely-formed local organizations, passing through to national federations, and international networks. The research aims to identify the role of civil society organizations in preserving the environment and human rights in North Sinai Governorate. Through the results, the proposed strategy was developed to activate the role of civil society organizations and protect human rights in North Sinai Governorate, which is as follows in the short term: Providing the necessary tools and appropriate support to activate the role of civil society organizations within the governorate and raising environmental awareness among community members. In the medium term: Activating the role of civil society organizations, the government and the private sector to work on benefiting from and developing the capabilities of community members and ensuring their participation in decision-making. In the long term: Supporting and supporting the trends of community members towards the protection of human rights and the environment to achieve continuity and communication and preserve the rights of future generations in environmental resources, and to link civil society organizations - government agencies - the private sector to ensure achieving a desired level of protection in society.
