The Republic of Liberia is confronted with the threat and related impacts of climate change. Adapting to these impacts is imperative to protect lives, property, livelihoods and socio economic activities, and to conserve the natural environment. Liberia’s national development document, The Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development 2018 to 2023 recognizes the impacts of climate change on development, and calls for the integration of climate change considerations and the building of resilience into the country’s national development programs and plans. The National Policy and Response Strategy to Climate Change (NPRSCC) was launched in 2018 to enable better coordination of climate change work; and to enhance efforts related to Liberia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Liberia is strengthening her capacity to measure, track and report adaptation data through a Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) initiative that is implemented through the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA).
