Abstract

Reconstruction after destructive events offers countries an opportunity to open markets for national industries across development, humanitarian, and corporate sectors. However, post-disaster recovery in Lebanon faces challenges such as weak governance, lack of coordination among actors, fragmented data and conflicting external funding agendas. Furthermore, environmental concerns and the absence of a sustainable holistic approach, continue to generate disparities and inefficiencies in reconstruction efforts.

Description

This document explores the pressing issue of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) generated by the ongoing war, highlighting its environmental, economic, and social impacts. It offers practical strategies and policy recommendations for sustainable CDW management in Lebanon, informed by lessons learned, current challenges, and innovative approaches. The brief is designed to guide policymakers, international and national stakeholders, private and public sector leaders, and community advocates in addressing this critical issue.
