Ecological Transition & Climate Action
At the heart of ALMEE’s mission lies its commitment to driving Lebanon’s ecological transition — the process of shifting toward a low-carbon, resilient, and circular economy — while supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation at both local and national levels.
Through its Ecological Transition & Climate Action program, ALMEE works with municipalities, institutions, and international partners to design and implement integrated strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen community resilience to environmental challenges.
This area of work combines policy support, technical expertise, and capacity building to help local authorities and decision-makers:
ALMEE’s approach is holistic and participatory — empowering communities to become key actors in the fight against climate change, while ensuring that environmental sustainability also creates economic opportunities, green jobs, and social well-being.
