The proposed Readiness project leverages past and current initiatives to enhance stakeholder coordination, conduct baseline studies, and promote an open-source database to address climate change challenges in Libya's water, energy, food, and ecosystems sectors, while integrating climate risk into national strategies and policies. 
The proposed readiness project aims to:

1. Strengthen the LIWEF-Libya framework and integrate an ecosystems management component to become the LIWEFE-Libya framework
2. Introduce a climate risk approach to the management of the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus aligned with current reforms andnational strategies;
3. Develop stakeholder coordination mechanisms for the agriculture,water, energy, and environment sectors, including relevant national institutions, the private sector, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and academia;
4. Develop baseline studies and climate risk and vulnerability assessment that serve as pillars for future strategies and sectorial strategic frameworks;
5. Further empower the use of the recently established MerWat-Libya Geospatial Platform through the project’s activities of collecting, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge between water, energy, environment and food sectors on climate change impacts and scenarios in the country.
6. Develop a WEFE-Nexus concept note and pre-feasibility study.
