Lebanon’s Third Biennial Update Report (BUR) to the UNFCCC

Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015, all nations have been united for the first time to work on ambitious and transparent national climate action plans, that would collectively set the world on the path of low emission development. Leaders of the world, from one UN meeting to another, from one Convention to another, have been drawing linkages between climate change and sustainable development goals on one side, and sustainable social and economic growth on the other.

Lebanon’s Third Biennial Update Report (BUR) to the UNFCCC is a national document that tracks linkages between sectoral implementation and climate change mitigation and adaptation and their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals, yet it is also an international document that informs the global community on our country’s take on global climate action.
