The proposed SCP Action Plan for the Industrial Sector in Lebanon is based on the Draft SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean which has been developed under the regional component of the SWITCH-Med programme and which has been subject to extensive discussions at the regional to ensure its alignment with the Mediterranean context16. While this approach aims at building upon the knowledge and experience generated at the regional level, the national SCP Action Plan for the Industrial Sector in Lebanon has also responded to country specific needs and opportunities. It should also be noted that the SCP Action Plan includes, as an integral part, specific activities aiming at addressing the SCP needs in the Litani Basin and Qaraoun Lake. As such, the SCP Action Plan for the Industrial Sector in Lebanon has identified 3 Operational Objectives which are the following: - Operational Objective 1. Adopt Best Available Techniques to promote SCP in the industrial sector - Operational Objective 2. Introduce SCP approaches related to the industrial sector in the policy and institutional frameworks - Operational Objective 3. Educate and raise awareness of consumers on SCP in the industrial sector
