Background

Lebanon is a Party to the Paris Agreement and is committed to fulfilling its obligations under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF). Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) are the primary mechanism for reporting on greenhouse gas inventories, mitigation and adaptation actions, climate finance, and capacity-building.

Following the submission of its First Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) in 2024, Lebanon is strengthening its systems to ensure continuity, quality, and institutional ownership of future reporting cycles. Achieving this requires robust data management, coordinated institutional arrangements, and accessible digital platforms.

In this context, UNDP Lebanon in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, is implementing the BTR project to enhance national climate transparency. A core component of the project is supporting and upgrading the Ministry of Environment’s climate change website as the official national platform for climate data and reporting. Strengthening the website is essential to ensure transparency, institutional memory, and public access to climate information, while providing a reliable, centralized interface for managing BTR-related data, tracking progress, and supporting evidence-based decision-making in line with national priorities and international reporting requirements.
