Jibal

JIBAL is a not-for-profit association that champions environmental and social justice principles. We envision a society centered on principles of reciprocity, recognition, and equitable redistribution. We believe that a harmonious world entails the fair sharing of the environment and of natural resources, on the one hand, and the recognition of reciprocal relations of equality and of the redistribution of wealth, on the other. Jibal literally means “mountain” in Arabic. The word is also an adapted acronym of the full registered name of the organization, جبال – جمعية من أجل العدالة البيئية والإجتماعية في لبنان (Association for Environmental and Social Justice in Lebanon). Jibal was founded in 2017 by Ounsi El Daif and Angela Saade, both were in the sustainability, social justice and popular education fields.
