The Sea of Lebanon for All of Lebanon

In 2018, the Hariri Foundation organized the first floating conference in Lebanon, “The Sea of Lebanon for All of Lebanon.” The conference involved 184 young activists and 50 experts and decision makers from across Lebanon in developmental discussions both on land and in seas (Saida’s “El Zireh” island). 

The conference mobilized innovative and interactive tools in participants’ discussions. Organized in line with the foundation’s National Initiative for the Centennial of Great Lebanon, the conference sessions discussed development priorities across Lebanese regions and the programming of further youth activities. 

The plenary session focused on the importance of the Lebanese oil and gas wealth as well as the outputs of the CEDRE Conference, its importance in achieving balanced and sustainable development on all Lebanese lands, and the extent of the impact of its projects on the future of Lebanon.
