iloubnan.info - May 11, 2009

Mount Lebanon - Today more than 120 activists from two environmental NGOs, IndyACT and AFDC, gathered in a cedar forest to voice their concern against climate change and to highlight its impacts on Lebanon’s forests. Their demand is that the future government and parliament put climate change high on the agenda. The activists stood ‘drew a human chain’ in the Chouf Cedars Forest, the biggest Cedars forest in the country that could disappear due to climate change in the future.This December, governments from around the World will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to finalize a new global treaty on climate change during the biggest Climate Summit in history. IndyACT and AFDC call on the Lebanese government to prioritize climate change on the agenda, and actively participate in these negotiations.
