Much more evidence has accumulated over the past ten years to indicate that changes in many physical and biological systems are linked to global warming. Then, needing an action for mitigating the climate change impacts through regional development policies target all regions (urban, rural and undeveloped areas) and cities in order to support job creation, business competitiveness, economic growth, sustainable development, and improve citizens' quality of life. And to make it easy to be implemented, so it has to be integrated with the administration levels to achieve the final aim for those objectives. Awareness of the need for a new approach is driven by the observation, in the frame of administration levels on all levels national, regional and local levels. Defining the legal policies and rules to mitigate climate change on regional level by supporting the environment and achieve development on local and regional levels parallelly. Therefore, the research seeks to offer some proactive applicable policies that can dispense with one of the challenging problems. The problem deals with the threats that climate change could have on the development potentialities and natural resources of developing states in the skeleton of the administrative layers. The research aims to utilize the development policies and projects for mitigating the risk level for climate change hazards in the frame of administration levels in Egypt.
