Environment and Climate Change mitigation in Libya

About this project

The project aims to support Libya in its efforts to prepare for climate impacts by both mitigating climate emissions and enhancing its capacity to adapt to climate impacts.

This project will support the National Climate Change Committee to address the critical reporting gap while at the same time working with key climate adaptation institutions including the National Meteorological Centre’s early warning system and the National Committee to Combat Desertification. Given the current high emissions from the oil and gas sector, the project will also work with the National Oil Corporation to reduce fugitive emissions as this is the most cost-effective way to rapidly reduce emissions. By combining policy with preparedness and mitigation, this project seeks to create the syner
