The Planning Institute reported today that it held a workshop on the same day titled "Transitioning Toward a Green Economy" at its Tripoli headquarters.
It said this comes as part of the activities of the National Committee for a Green Economy, and in line with efforts to promote sustainable development pathways and embed the concepts of a green economy.
The event brought together various stakeholders and interested parties to discuss strategic themes related to shifting toward an economy that is more sustainable, resource-efficient, and better equipped to address environmental and climate challenges.
The workshop commenced with an introductory presentation outlining the objectives of the National Committee for a Green Economy and its mandate to support policies and initiatives aimed at achieving a transition toward a green economy.
The workshop focused on two primary themes. The first addressed climate and nature conservation, featuring a review of current indicators, a discussion on the vision, mission, and strategic objectives for this sector, and a SWOT analysis to assess the current situation and define future priorities and directions.
The second theme focused on green industries. It included an overview of the status, a discussion of the proposed vision, mission, and objectives, and a SWOT analysis, aimed at identifying the key potential and challenges associated with developing green industries and enhancing their contribution to the national economy.
Following the conclusion of discussions on the two key themes, interactive roundtable sessions involving various stakeholders. During these sessions, proposed projects, initiatives, and solutions were reviewed, and opportunities for their implementation—aligned with the requirements for transitioning toward a green economy—were discussed.
The workshop concluded with the adoption of a final list of projects and proposals, alongside an outline of subsequent steps and procedures, paving the way for the transition from the planning and discussion phase to implementation and follow-up.
The Planning Institute said this workshop underscores the importance of aligning visions and strengthening coordination among diverse stakeholders, as well as working collectively to develop practical approaches that support the transition to a green economy—one that contributes to sustainable development while preserving natural resources for future generations.
