This is a #ClimateEmergency.

The forest fires ravaging Lebanon will put carbon sinks, #biodiversity, and livelihoods at risk.

We need to #ActNow to protect our communities and forest wealth through prevention & capacity building: https://t.co/zZpoYxrTFQ

Every $1 invested in #ClimateChange adaptation and mitigation generates $3.2 in return.

Lebanon has pledged to enhance its #NDCs target to @UNFCCC advancing on #ClimateAmbition & #ClimateActionNow. It is encouraging to see tangible results of @UNDP's #ClimatePromise support to countries. Here is more 👉 https://t.co/dspPh3yAXX

[UNDP Lebanon @UNDP_Lebanon]

As part of our #ClimatePromise, >90 projects in Lebanon’s development plans were climate-proofed for an improved implementation of the Nationally Determined Contribution. Results show 🔻 emissions, 🔺climate resilience, and more.

The small Middle Eastern country is battling its worst economic crisis for decades, which has pushed over half its population into poverty.

[UNDP Planet @UNDPplanet]

Huge news: Lebanon has increased its climate ambition for 2030.

In its NDC submission to @UNFCCC, Lebanon aims to cut carbon emissions by 20% - up from 15% - by 2030.

We stand ready to continue supporting Lebanon with @UNDP's #ClimatePromise.

Great to see an ambitious new Nationally Determined Contribution from Lebanon, increasing their commitment to climate action 🇱🇧

Looking forward to more countries in the Middle East coming forward with enhanced NDCs as we head towards #COP26

89% of Lebanon’s population live in coastal areas most vulnerable to #ClimateChange. Our Gender Analysis report, as part of the NDC support program with @Nclwgov, assesses impacts & policies needed for a gender-responsive #ClimateAction : https://t.co/Ohsg7FaG6K

[Vahakn Kabakian 🇦🇲🇱🇧 @VahakK]

@Nclwgov @Mary__Awad @climatechangelb @UNDP_Lebanon #gender considerations are integral for #climateAction

[UNDP Planet @UNDPplanet]

In #Lebanon, despite near equal access to education, only 24% of women are part of the labor force, compared to 71% of men.

For #ClimateAction to be effective, this gender analysis takes into account gender roles and expectations in the country: https://t.co/gEZEjZ9Pje #IWD2021
