EQA convenes second climate committee meeting
The Environment Quality Authority held the second meeting of the National Climate Change Committee for 2026, chaired by Eng. Zaghloul Samhan, to oversee the preparation of the third version of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0). Samhan emphasized the importance of ensuring that the document reflects the Palestinian reality and its needs, especially given the impacts of the war on the Gaza Strip, and highlighted the necessity of climate change adaptation to achieve water, food, and public health security. The meeting reviewed the stages of preparing the document, which includes goals and interventions related to both adaptation and mitigation, with a focus on activating the national role and considering current challenges. It is planned to approve the initial draft of the national contribution before the end of August for inclusion in the global report, with the final procedures being followed up by the Council of Ministers to ensure its implementation and support for Palestinian climate action despite the country's exceptional circumstances.
