If you’re looking for the newest stories about Lebanon’s environment, you’re in the right spot. From wildfires in the mountains to new renewable projects in Beirut, we bring you the facts you need without the fluff. Each article is picked to show how climate, waste and water issues shape life on the ground.
Lebanon sits at a crossroads of Mediterranean weather and mountain climate, which means it feels the impact of droughts and heavy rains more sharply than many places. Recent heatwaves have pushed temperatures above 40°C, stressing water supplies and agriculture. Knowing the latest weather trends helps farmers plan crops and city officials manage water distribution.
Good news: cities and villages across Lebanon are turning to solar panels, bike lanes and recycling programs. In Jounieh, a community group has set up a compost hub that reduces garden waste by 30 %. In the south, a new wind farm is expected to power 10,000 homes by 2026. These projects show how local effort can tackle big problems.
When you read our tag page, you’ll find short reads that explain how policies affect you. For example, a recent law limiting single‑use plastics has led shops to offer reusable bags, but enforcement varies. We break down what that means for shoppers and the environment.
We also cover the waste crisis in the Bekaa Valley, where illegal dumping threatens soil health. Reports detail how NGOs are cleaning up sites and training youth in safe waste handling. Knowing these actions lets you support the right groups or volunteer yourself.
Finally, we keep an eye on the energy shift. Lebanon’s power cuts have pushed many to install backup generators, but they add to pollution. Our updates track how solar subsidies are changing that picture, offering a cleaner and cheaper alternative for households.
