Suriname is already experiencing the impacts of climate variability and change, manifesting in increased average atmospheric temperatures, diminished annual rainfall, and the potential escalation in the intensity of tropical storms. The country relies heavily on groundwater resources for its drinking water supply, alongside surface water and direct rainfall. However, with the burgeoning economy, particularly in the tourism and agriculture sectors, water demand is projected to double over the next decade.

- Nationally Determined Contribution and the conditional target of a GHG emission reduction of 30% compared to the BAU scenario in 2030.
Context
In Lebanon, a strong system for energy-efficiency evaluation and standards does not currently exist. The country therefore seeks assistance for the development of an appliance and electrical equipment enregy-efficiency strategy to decrease national energy consumption. -
