Lebanon, 2015.
Portrait of domestic worker Hellina Desta.
Seven years ago, Hellina migrated from Ethiopia to work in Beirut, Lebanon. She has been working for her current employer for five years and plans to keep living and working in Lebanon.
Lebanon emerged from a 15-year civil war in 1990, beginning its slow but steady recovery. Today it is considered an upper-middle-income country, but economic gains are inequitably distributed among social groups and skewed towards urban areas.

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in the migration of animals and plants. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.

Water is a key resource that supports the growth of our industries. A large portion of non-domestic demand is concentrated in industrial clusters such as Jurong Island.
There is potential to develop localised sources to meet these needs, through measures such as process water recycling and desalination. In these clusters, there are also opportunities to recover heat for water production.
A promising example is membrane distillation, which taps low-grade steam or waste heat from power stations, incineration plants or industrial processes to supplement the energy requirements for desalination.
