Lebanon affirms that environmental restoration and strengthening resilience to climate change must be an integral part of the reconstruction process, alongside achieving stability, restoring our sovereignty, and respecting international law. National efforts, however important, cannot alone overcome the structural and financial constraints facing a country seeking to rise from long and successive crises and wars. In this context, we call for increasing public financing, strengthening the role of grants, and simplifying access to existing financing mechanisms, while taking into account the special circumstances of countries affected by crises.
The environmental losses resulting from Israeli attacks, which constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, exceeded $512 million in 2023 and 2024, in addition to other losses incurred by Lebanon during 2026.
For Lebanon, climate challenges cannot be separated from the repercussions of wars and the economic collapse, or from the arduous national task of recovery and reconstruction.
