Ecological Transition & Climate Action
OUR STORY
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:
• Develop Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs);
• Implement low-carbon strategies and adaptation roadmaps;
• Promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and circular waste management systems;
• Foster local governance models that engage citizens in the ecological transition.
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.
For over three decades, ALMEE has worked at the intersection of science, innovation, and policy, driving forward Lebanon’s transition toward a more sustainable, low-carbon, and resource-efficient future.
Our mission is to develop, promote, and implement scientific and technical approaches that improve energy management, foster renewable energy adoption, and support the ecological transition across all sectors of society.
