This chapter explores disruptions as a cacophony of distractions that Egypt has encountered and navigated. Our focus is on four pivotal categories: war and geopolitical conflicts, debt and financial crises, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks. We identify the pillars relevant to the Egyptian context under each disruption, emphasizing the opportunities and risks they present. The chapter examines how such disruptions have shaped Egypt’s trajectory towards sustainable development. We delve into the aspects of sustainability and the factors influencing progress. The main question this chapter aims to address is: Can Egypt ride the right waves of change generated by disruptions and reshape the future?
