Transforming waste into opportunity: UNDP and KFAED join efforts for Lebanon’s sustainable future

Lebanon, a country of rich history and spectacular nature, had a shadow cast upon its environment in 2015. A mounting waste crisis began to plague the country, with landfills reaching their capacity and improper waste disposal becoming a common sight in the streets. The impact of Lebanon's waste crisis on its’ people has been profound and far-reaching. Beyond the visual plague of overflowing landfills and streets choked with garbage, the crisis has taken a toll on public health, well-being, and the overall quality of life.
