Opportunity description
The United Nations Volunteers program offers an online volunteer opportunity in the field of climate change negotiation. Lebanon has demonstrated a strong commitment to climate improvement policies by ratifying key climate agreements, and has also affirmed its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to global mitigation efforts by joining the Kyoto Protocol. Lebanon's ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2015 strengthened its commitment to align national climate action with the agreement's ambitious goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, highlighting its active role in the international battle against climate change.
