Background
The project aims at providing Lebanon with the enabling activities necessary to prepare and report the Second National Communication to the Conference of Parties in accordance with guidance of the UNFCCC according to the Article 12 and guidelines for NC of non-Annex I countries, with an overall goal to maintain and strengthen the national capacity of the country for continuous fulfillment of its commitments under the Convention. The structure of this project is based on the country’s previous experience and studies already identified under a stocktaking exercise. The main components of the project are: (a) an inventory of greenhouse gases for the years 2000 and 2006 and time series 1994-2006; (b) an update of analysis of potential measures to mitigate the increase in greenhouse gas emissions in Lebanon; (c) an assessment of potential impacts of climate change in Lebanon and adaptation measures; (d) preparation of the Second National Communication of Lebanon and submission to the COP.
This project’s objective is to prepare the country’s SNC to the UNFCCC. As defined by the COP, enabling activities are those measures that facilitate the implementation of response measures in accordance with the UNFCCC (Decision 11/CP.2) to prepare the SNC of Lebanon to the COP, in accordance with Article 12 of the UNFCCC, and to continue to build capacity to fulfil its commitments to the Convention.
