Strengthening DRM efforts through cooperation in Lebanon

This case study focuses on how the protection of persons in the event of disasters (PPED) treaty could amplify the efforts of the Lebanese government to enhance disaster risk management, including through cooperation with both internal and external partners.

Lebanon is an Eastern Mediterranean state with a climate that varies by region. Altough Lebanon does not demonstrate the same disaster risks as many other coastal nations, prevailing regional instability presents unique challenges to advancing disaster risk management efforts.
