Integrating climate change, water, energy and food security strategies in Libya

Project's full title	Strengthening governance and institutional framework for integrated climate change, water, energy and food security strategies in Libya
Introduction	The project supports integrated Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) solutions in Libya. It reviews existing data, maps energy use in agriculture, and assesses biomass resources. Stakeholder input helps identify gaps and opportunities. The goal is to promote renewable energy options that strengthen climate resilience and improve food and water security.
