Libya Participates in African Parliament Meeting on Climate & Agriculture
The committee convened to approve and finalize the Model Law on Soil, which will be presented during the upcoming plenary session of the African Parliament. The law is intended to serve as a legislative reference for environmental protection and sustainable land use across the continent.
Also on the agenda was the Model Law on Climate Change, where the committee granted its legal office the mandate to begin drafting the initial version of the bill. The draft will be reviewed and debated in future committee sessions.
In addition, members discussed a report on the African Parliament delegation's participation in last year's Climate Change Summit and explored strategies for preparing for the upcoming summit.
Libya's active involvement in the session underscores the country's ongoing engagement with continental efforts to address pressing environmental and agricultural challenges, and its support for unified African legislative frameworks on sustainability.
Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.
Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.
The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.
Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: African ParliamentClimate Changelibya

US Firm Secures $235M Deal with Libya's Mellitah Oil & Gas
US-based Hill International has announced the signing of a $235 million consultancy contract with Libya's Mellitah Oil & Gas Company to manage the Structures A & E offshore energy project, which has an estimated total value of $8 billion. The project aims to strengthen Libya's energy security and boost its gas export capacity. It will involve the delivery of two offshore drilling platforms, as well as the development of the necessary infrastructure to transport natural gas to the Mellitah Complex — located about 100 kilometers west of Tripoli — for processing and distribution. Production is expected to commence in 2026. New Carbon Capture and Storage Facility The plan also includes the construction of a new carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility with a production capacity of up to 750 million cubic feet per day. This step is designed to meet domestic energy demand while increasing Libya's gas exports to Europe, thereby reinforcing the country's role in regional energy security, enhancing market competition, and helping reduce prices for consumers. Industry analysts say the project could mark a significant milestone for Libya's energy sector, not only by expanding production capacity but also by incorporating advanced environmental technologies that align with global energy transition goals.

Libya Sees Strongest Oil Export Levels Since February
Libya's seaborne crude oil exports surged to their highest level in five months in July 2025, driven by a notable increase in production, according to data from the US-based Energy Research Unit. The figures show that Libya's crude exports rose by more than 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) year-on-year — a 23% jump — reaching 1.23 million bpd in July 2025, compared to 0.99 million bpd in the same month last year. On a monthly basis, exports increased by 60,000 bpd compared to June's average of 1.17 million bpd. The data also revealed that Libya's average seaborne crude exports during the first seven months of 2025 stood at 1.2 million bpd, up from 1.03 million bpd during the same period in 2024. Analysts say the latest figures underscore Libya's resilience in maintaining higher output despite ongoing political and security challenges, with oil revenues continuing to serve as the backbone of the country's economy.
