Founded in August 2008, the green party advocates environmental protection, sustainable development, and human rights in Lebanon.

[1] The Green Party of Lebanon was founded on 20 August 2008 at a conference in Beirut's Monroe Hotel.

The three-hour conference, which assembled 65 members of the Lebanese elite, presented the party's charter and political and economic work plan followed by the election of its 20-member executive board.

Skaf declared that the Party would not run candidates in the 2009 Lebanese general election but stressed that the document will be presented to all Lebanese political parties in order for them to adopt its goals.

Lately, in June 2018, Mr Toufic Souk was elected as a new president for the GPL with a new political bureau succeeding Mrs. Zaarour.
