Lebanon is immensely affected due to climate change and labour mobility in the Middle East region. The Syrian conflict resulted in mass influx of around 2 million Syrian refugees into Lebanon, causing huge pressure on the economic and social assets of Lebanon, and provoking severe disruptions in the electricity, agriculture and water systems since March 2011. The conflict inflicted also a heavy blow to the country's agriculture sector. 

Also studies and analysis show that climate change is impacting negatively the economy of Lebanon in the near and distant future.
Conflict and immigration may increase in the mid and long term as a result of global warming, extreme weather conditions and water scarcity. 

Additional restraints caused by climate change, as well as overpopulation, growth of cities, water pollution and ineffective use of energy sources, have contributed to water shortages across the world.

Population displacements as some areas become nearly uninhabitable or unable to support traditional agricultural life, violence, health problems, worker productivity, and others. Income and livelihood disparities are expected to worsen and exacerbate social and economic polarization among wealthy and poor families.

Official projections show that countries like Lebanon will suffer immensely if speedy and sensible actions are not taken in the areas of mitigation and adaptation, to minimize the damage and to save millions of citizens from certain grief and hardships that will strike harder in the years ahead.Population displacements as some areas become nearly uninhabitable or unable to support traditional agricultural life, violence, health problems, worker productivity, and others.
