Mikati in his delivered word at UN climate conference (COP27): Lebanese government made great strides in its response to combating climate change despite challenges

NNA - Caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, stressed that “Lebanon is one of the countries highly affected by the impact of climate change, and studies prepared by the Lebanese Ministry of Environment have estimated that climate change will cause a decrease in Lebanon's gross domestic product and will exacerbate the current predicaments and crises, which requires resolute action by everyone in the short and long term."

Caretaker Premier Mikati’s words on Tuesday came in his word delivered at the UN climate conference (COP27), currently being held in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.

"Today, I am here with a message of hope that we were and will remain active partners in all the meetings that bring together the countries of the world to discuss common concerns and seek to resolve the accumulated crises. At the beginning, I must salute His Excellency President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who opened the doors of Egypt to hold this forum and provide all the requirements for its success. We thank Egypt for its continuous care and support to Lebanon, under the guidance of President al-Sisi. I also salute His Excellency the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, for all the efforts he is making to resolve international issues
