Takala: Libya Urgently Needs Integrated Administrative System for Environment and Hazardous Waste Management
High Council of State President Opens First International Conference on Environmental Pollutants in Libya
Dr. Mohamed Takala, President of Libya's High Council of State, opened the first International Conference on Environmental Pollutants and Hazardous Waste Management in Libya on Sunday, July 12, 2026, calling for an integrated administrative system to tackle the country's growing environmental challenges.
The conference, organized by the Libyan Authority for Scientific Research under the theme "Reality, Solutions, and the One Health Approach," brought together academics, researchers, experts, and government representatives from Libya and abroad to address the nation's most pressing environmental issues.
A Call for Administrative Reform
In his opening address, Takala emphasized that Libya — a country rich in natural resources and potential — urgently needs a comprehensive administrative framework for environmental management. "We must build an integrated administrative system founded on scientific research, modern legislation, and the principles of good governance," he stated.
Takala highlighted that Libya's current environmental challenges require more than piecemeal solutions. The country needs a coordinated approach that bridges the gap between policy formulation and implementation on the ground.
Legislative Commitment to Environmental Protection
The High Council of State President reaffirmed his institution's commitment to modernizing Libya's legislative framework for environmental protection and hazardous waste management. He stressed that new regulations must align with international standards while remaining tailored to Libya's specific local conditions and needs.
"The Council is fully dedicated to supporting the update of laws governing environmental protection and hazardous waste disposal," Takala said, noting that effective legislation is the backbone of any successful environmental strategy.
One Health Approach: Connecting Environmental and Human Health
The conference adopted the "One Health" approach — a globally recognized framework that recognizes the interconnection between human health, animal health, and environmental health. This approach is particularly relevant for Libya, where environmental degradation has direct consequences on public health outcomes.
Experts at the conference presented research papers addressing priority environmental files, including hazardous waste management, pollution control, and sustainable development pathways for Libya.
Environmental Protection as a National Responsibility
Takala stressed that environmental protection is not the responsibility of any single institution but a shared national duty requiring collaboration across all sectors of society. He called for active cooperation between government institutions, universities, the private sector, and civil society organizations.
"Raising community awareness about the importance of environmental conservation is equally critical," he added, emphasizing that lasting change must come from both top-down policy and grassroots engagement.
Path Forward: Practical Recommendations
The conference is scheduled to continue over the coming days with specialized scientific sessions, panel discussions, and working groups focused on developing actionable recommendations for Libyan policymakers.
Takala expressed his hope that the conference would produce clear, practical visions and evidence-based recommendations that can guide decision-makers in formulating effective national environmental policies. "Our goal is not just to discuss problems but to emerge with concrete solutions that protect Libya's environment and advance sustainable development," he concluded.
As Libya faces increasing environmental pressures from industrial pollution, waste mismanagement, and climate change impacts, this conference marks a significant step toward building the institutional and legislative capacity needed to address these challenges comprehensively.
