Liberia must enhance its environmental governance to secure international climate financing, experts warn. During a workshop in Monrovia, stakeholders discussed the implications of COP30, emphasizing the need for effective management systems to attract funding.
Liberia's fragmented climate governance has hindered access to resources, resulting in stalled projects like the $27 million West Point Coastal Defense Project. The current EPA director has committed to overcoming past failures and resuming projects. Experts stress that strong national systems are essential for accessing funds aimed at protecting forests and building climate resilience, as climate change increasingly impacts local communities.
