  1. ClimaSouth Lebanon National Activity Beirut 06.02.2017 Project funded by the EuropeanUnion

  2. ClimaSouth – The Project/1- EU FUNDED (5M EURO)- 2013 – 2018- ENPI SOUTH

  3. ClimaSouth – The Project/2

  4. ClimaSouth action in Lebanon • Combination of national and regional activities: • Support to national MRV system • Support to access to climate finance • Mainstreaming of climate change in the private sector: Lebanon Climate Act • Enhancement LARI EWS system in Beqaa Valley

  5. ClimaSouth National Activity in Lebanon National Activities: bottom up approaches in sharing knowledge and assistance in priority sectors affected by the impact of climate change. In Lebanon, the Ministry of Environment, trough a participatory process, has selected agriculture in BekaaValley as priority for the ClimaSouth National Activity, with the objective of enhancing the existing LARI Early Warning System (EWS) by: • assessment of the LARI EWS; • design and project proposal for enhanced LARI EWS; • EWS operational training

  6. LARI EWS Assessment Report The assessment has provided in depth: • Analysis of the EWSunder the three components: • Meteorological data and stations management • Agro-meteorological models for crop monitoring andrisk assessment, • Information products apt to allow farmer to take a decision. • Evaluation of farmers’ reactivity to the transmitted information in terms of content and format

  7. Accompanying Trainings Two main strands: • knowledge and tools for irrigation scheduling of strategic Mediterranean crops under different soils and climatic and environmental conditions • AWS management and maintenance, Soil moisture sensors and monitoring techniques and Climatic data download, validation and management

  8. The enhanced LARI EWS • The proposed enhanced system is centered on a major reinforcement of the LARI EWS infrastructure and on improved and adapted capacity in Water management advising • Infrastructure: reinforce agro-meteorology, data banks and communication sub-systems • Water management: information sharing adapted and calibrated to the models to the various ecosystems and agricultural products • The project proposal is designed to support these two different approaches with the infrastructure component to be immediately operational while the water component demanding a preliminary test phase
