Liberia: National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2020 - 2030

This National Adaptation Plan is a 10-year nationwide document adopting a sectoral-based approach to climate change adaptation planning to identify priorities for crucial sectors such as agriculture, forestry, energy, fisheries, coastal zones, and waste management. The purpose of this document is to (i) provide an overall framework to guide the country in developing, coordinating, and implementing its NAP process; (ii) strengthen existing planning processes by integrating climate change adaptation considerations.

The strategic objectives set out by the Plan are (i) to provide a framework and procedures for sharing of information of scientific, technical, and traditional knowledge on climate change risk management and develop capacity-building measures; (ii) to coordinate sectors (including both public and private sector stakeholders) as well as institutions on climate change risk management and universities using awareness with a focus on the improvement of climate risk management actions; and (iii) encourage participation from sector stakeholders and line agencies responsible for key sectors to identify and propose measures to promote adaptation to reduce climate change risk.
