This COP is expected to focus on: Loss and Damage, Climate Finance, and Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP). In Liberia, climate change is disrupting agriculture, coastal erosion, and perennial flooding, critically impacting the agriculture, energy, and fisheries sectors.”Speaking at the COP26 in Glasgow, H.E. President Weah highlighted that there is a need to bring equity and fairness to how the objectives of the Paris Accord on Climate Change can be achieved. It is therefore important that those who care about Liberia’s forest and the development of the country get Liberia ready for the carbon market. In the run-up to COP 28, this is a call to faster action that requires a stronger commitment to equity and justice for forest communities and future generations of Liberia.
