TunisiaConference Paper 6: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE GREEN TRANSITION IN LEBANON AND SYRIA Identifying Policy Gaps and Spotting Opportunities to Design Sustainable Policies
This paper was submitted and accepted for presentation at the FEMISE 2023 Annual Conference, “Shifting Paradigms: Opportunities for a Deeper EU-Mediterranean Integration in a Changing World,” Barcelona, Spain, 27-29 September 2023 under the theme: A better integrated Euro-Mediterranean region.
This policy paper casts a spotlight on the struggling ecosystems that stymie entrepreneurial efforts within the green transition sector, with a keen focus on Southern Mediterranean nations like Lebanon and Syria. It unearths critical policy gaps and highlights the multifaceted challenges impeding progress—ranging from inadequate government intervention and outdated regulatory frameworks to insufficient infrastructure, weak support systems due to internal conflicts caused by the political conflict and war in Syria, and a lack of sustainable financing and public awareness.
