Analysis of the Cost of Environmental Degradation for 2023 in Lebanon
This report, prepared for the World Bank, assesses Lebanon's environmental degradation costs in 2023, estimating a total of approximately $2 billion (11% of GDP). Key sectors included are air pollution, land, water, waste, and coastal zone degradation. Findings reveal a significant increase in COED compared to previous years (e.g., 3.2% in 2005, 4.4% in 2018), driven by inflation, reduced public services, and the Syrian refugee crisis.
Sector Breakdown
- Air Pollution: $632.3 million (3.5% of GDP), reflecting poor air quality and premature deaths.
- Water Pollution: $722.5 million (4.0%), due to untreated wastewater and waterborne diseases.
- Land Degradation/Waste: $273.3 million (1.5%), exacerbated by informal settlements and unregulated quarrying.
- Coastal Degradation: $84.6 million (0.5%), linked to marine litter and public access issues.
Key Trends
- The water sector is the most affected, with $722.5 million in costs, followed closely by air pollution.
- The Syrian refugee crisis contributed $590 million (30% of total COED), amplifying pressures on natural resources, waste disposal, and environmental services.
- Urbanization and weak governance are identified as primary drivers worsening degradation.
Priority Actions
- Air: Monitor emissions, enforce private generator regulations, and transition to renewable energy.
- Water: Rehabilitate wastewater treatment plants and address stormwater losses.
- Land/Waste: Strengthen urban planning, combat unregulated quarrying, and improve waste management infrastructure.
- Coastal: Enhance waste sector governance, reduce marine litter, and enforce marine protection laws.
Limitations
The assessment excludes conflict-related environmental impacts and may overestimate COED due to flawed methodologies in some sectors.
