Liberia Urged to Enhance Governance for Access to Global Climate Funding Amid COP30 Commitments
Liberian experts warn that the country must strengthen its environmental governance to access international climate financing. During a recent workshop in Monrovia, stakeholders discussed the implications of COP30 for Liberia and the need for improved systems to manage environmental programs. While the current EPA director has pledged to meet donor requirements, previous failures have stalled significant projects. Experts emphasize that without strong governance, Liberia risks missing out on vital climate funding that could help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

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.
