Libya’s Planning Institute holds green-economy workshop in Tripoli, Libya Herald reports

Libya's Planning Institute held a workshop on moving toward a green economy at its headquarters in Tripoli on November 14, 2026, Libya Herald reported. Participants discussed conservation, industrial activity and proposed projects before adopting a final set of proposals, the newspaper said.

The institute described the event as part of the National Committee for a Green Economy's work to promote sustainable development, according to the newspaper. The opening presentation addressed the committee's objectives and its role in supporting policies and initiatives for the transition.

Discussions were organised around two themes: climate and nature conservation, and green industries. For each, participants considered visions, missions and objectives and carried out a SWOT analysis. Stakeholder roundtables then examined proposed projects and initiatives, possible solutions and opportunities to put them into practice.

The workshop ended with agreement on a list of projects and proposals, together with an outline of further procedures, Libya Herald reported. Its account did not identify the projects or specify the steps agreed for carrying them forward.

Separate notices published by the Planning Institute describe committee-building work. One announces a first meeting of the Green Economy Committee to discuss priorities for the next stage; another refers to a preliminary meeting to identify experts who would represent the committee.

A further institute notice refers to a scientific session chaired by the planning minister on a green business incubator project. These notices describe other green-economy activities at the institute, but do not give an account of the November 14 workshop.

Separately, LSAFF reported a two-day workshop in Gammarth, Tunis, devoted to a national green-economy roadmap for Libya. It named the Planning Institute and the University of Rostock as joint organisers, working with the German Agency for International Cooperation, known as GIZ.

That event had a different title and location from the Tripoli workshop. Its date and any connection between the two events were not established in the accounts.
