The Lebanon Climate Act (LCA) aims at creating economic growth in a way that also creates value for the society by addressing climate change challenges in Lebanon. Lebanon Climate Act establishes a network of companies and institutions actively engaged in the fight for climate change. It also helps to catalyze the involvement of the private sector in the wider climate change community. It provides a space for businesses to showcase and support climate action, through concrete initiatives and multi-stakeholder approaches and thus, contribute in a sustainable and profitable manner to a strong and effective response to climate change.

By joining the Lebanon Climate Act, companies will demonstrate their ongoing engagement to climate action; each company will set actions to reduce its environmental and carbon footprint, increase low-carbon investments, deploy cleaner energy, and build more sustainable businesses and communities to tackle climate change.

Lebanon Climate Act is also an opportunity to establish solid partnerships between leading business organizations who are showing headship in acting on climate change (Energy, Water, Transport, Waste and Forestry and/or Agriculture), and willing to commit to one or more innovative and practical climate initiatives to scale low-carbon solutions and increase the adaptive capacity of the Lebanese economy, and active Non-Governmental Organizations who have planned important climate endeavors and are in need of concrete support from one or more business organizations from the public sector to implement their showcased projects.

The LCA has already conducted three Business Knowledge Platforms (BKP) to aid the private sector in engaging in climate action.

The initiative is led by the Green Mind, in partnership with the UNDP and the Central Bank.
