Finance and Development Minister Samuel Tweah has called for concerted efforts aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change in Liberia. Speaking at the official launch of the National Policy & Response Strategy on Climate Change, Minister Tweah said that Liberia remains vulnerable to climate change. He sees the launch of the document as a significant milestone in addressing climate change issues in the Country. He noted that climate change poses a significant threat to people all over the world, particular to livelihoods in least developed countries like Liberia, where climate related impact can have dire consequences for the most vulnerable and deprived societies. “The threats posed by the impact of climate change are overwhelming and as the country remains vulnerable, every effort that will ensure that these threats are mitigated must be welcomed” Minister Tweah pointed out. Cognizant of the impacts of this global menace and the dire need for adequate national response, the EPA and its partners, especially the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the National Adaptation Plans project funded by the Green Climate Fund, developed the (NPRS) to guide national response measures.
