This strategy was initiated and approved by Lebanon's Ministry for the Environment. It aims at reducing emissions and exposure to harmful air pollutants, including greenhouse gases.

This decree notably grants preferential taxation levels to environmentally-friendly activities that include the renewable energy industry and other activities favouring energy efficiency.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) is a broad document setting Lebanon's quantitative objectives of renewable energy penetration in the energy supply market. It details sectoral plans for wind, large-scale and household solar (photovoltaic, concentrated and water heater), hydro, geothermal and biomass (including waste-to-energy). For each resource, it assesses the potential, its financial and physical opportunities and provide a penetration target to 2020. &nbsp; &nbsp;The Plan especially focuses on the objectives of a 12 per cent share of renewable resources in the energy mix by 2020, with 2.06% from wind, 4.2 per cent from solar, 3.24 per cent for hydro and 2.5 per cent for biomass. It furthers proposes a plan to develop the legal and legislative framework that would allow for the targets to be met, alongside the set up for a grid code, and several support policies including financial schemes (including net metering, feed-in tariffs, capital subsidy or rebate). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan is a mid-term vision determining horizontal and sectoral policies and targets to improve energy efficiency in the country. It focuses in particular on primary energy savings (in the generation, transmission, and distribution sectors of the Lebanese power network) and end-use measures (in the buildings; industry, SMEs, agriculture; mobility and transport; and public services and facilities sectors). &nbsp; &nbsp;The document lists a number of 2020 targets of energy savings. It details the measures that should be implemented to reach these targets, and notably establishes minimum energy performance standards. It further seeks a harmonisation with European and Arab directives.

The Lebanese National Forest Plan (NFP) 2015-2025 constitutes the main forestry policy instrument that is being used by the ministry of Agriculture over the decade. The NFP details the government's interventions aimed at fostering sustainable management, coordination and cooperation mechanisms among both the public and private sectors. The NFP's goals include 1) establishing restoration and rehabilitation plans in degraded lands to counteract soil erosion and desertification, 2) enhancing ecosystem resilience in forestland to mitigate the impact of climate change and other natural hazards, and 3) carbon sequestration. The document further discusses legal, operational and budgetary objectives.
