Climate Justice in Lebanon: Knowledge, Power, and Environmental Equity
Lebanon stands at the intersection of environmental degradation, economic collapse, and political paralysis, making an inclusive climate and energy transition difficult to achieve. But through answering two central questions—grounded in theories of environmental justice, political ecology, and postcolonial critique—concrete steps toward such a transition rise to the forefront: Who controls access to climate knowledge, financial and natural resources, and decisionmaking power? And how is the climate space being used to either empower or marginalize different social groups?

The US Has Secured a Ceasefire in Lebanon. But Its Role Shouldn't End There

The State Department statement – reportedly agreed to by both governments – marked a significant diplomatic shift. It included an affirmation that “the two countries are not at war”, and a commitment to work towards “full recognition of each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”, as well as “achieving a permanent agreement that ensures lasting security, stability, and peace”.

UK Lifts Syria Sanctions on 24 Entities Including Central Bank
The UK government Thursday lifted sanctions imposed during the rule of the former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad against 24 entities including Syria's Central Bank, a statement said.
The UK government said last month it planned to ease sanctions after the new Syrian government sought to persuade Western capitals that the rebels that toppled Assad, after 14 years in charge, had confined their jihadist origins to the past.
Unveiling an updated sanctions list on Thursday, the Treasury said: "24 entries have been removed from the consolidated list and are no longer subject to an asset freeze."
The lifting of the sanctions apply to firms in the energy, transport and finance sectors.
