Lebanon Climate Directorate: Need or Role
The Lebanese government has launched a project to establish a new Climate Directorate within the Ministry of Environment, aimed at updating the organizational structure and strengthening the official environmental role in facing the challenges of climate change and environmental issues. However, reports indicate that the problem does not lie in creating the directorate but in the failure to implement environmental laws since 2002, particularly the Environmental Protection Law and the regulation of the ministry, which hampers the effective implementation of environmental policies and strategies. Experts also pointed out the need to activate existing directorates and digitize processes instead of creating new entities, in order to avoid repeating problems related to sectarian quotas and administrative overlaps. They emphasized that the biggest challenge lies in on-the-ground implementation rather than merely enacting laws.
