Call the Environment Hotline
& make your voice heard!
People in Lebanon complain every day of the polluted air they breathe, the contaminated food they eat, the infected water they drink, the noise they endure and much more. Unfortunately, most often their protests do not reach anywhere!

Environment Hotline is the first service dedicated exclusively to receiving, following up, investigating and reporting on your environmental problems wherever you are in Lebanon.

The objective is to raise civic awareness on environmental abuses and pave the way for transparency and accountability in handling environmental issues.

When illegal quarrying destroys your natural environment or unchecked sand looting devastates your coastline, all you need to do is call the following number: 01-210510 First, qualified staff will listen to your complaints. Then, a group of specialized experts will carry out field investigations to assess the situation and recommend feasible measures to solve the problem. Next, meetings with officials, members of the parliament and ministers will be held to relay your environmental concerns and work out solutions.

A monthly report will be published to shed light on the main environmental abuses exposed. Major newspapers, as well as radio and television stations, will also discuss your pressing environmental concerns in their daily articles and programs. In an attempt to save the Lebanese environment, Environment Hotline aims at influencing decision makers to design more effective environmental policies.
