Net zero targets and reduce
the impacts of climate change
Tackling climate change is a priority for the UK government, which hosted the COP26 conference in Glasgow last year. COP26 brought countries together to enable all countries to meet global net zero targets and reduce the impacts of climate change, resulting in the Glasgow Climate Pact. To achieve this countries must unlock public and private investment and push for innovative and green solutions. After the COP26 conference, the UK announced £50m funding to support energy transition and green infrastructure and growth in the Middle East and North Africa. Lebanon will be able to apply for funding to help changing to greener energy.
Testimonials
“Whether it’s mobility, biodiversity, air pollution, or food security, the climate and environmental challenges in Lebanon are tremendous but so are the opportunities present to think of creative solutions and help the country fast forward into greener energies. The Art of Curiosity aligned with the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) and in partnership with the UK Government, is the first in Lebanon, but it certainly won’t be the last. Our goal is to reinvent the traditional sectors while creating successful Cleantech companies from Lebanon to the world.”
