Liberia

Overview

Liberia submitted its updated and revised NDC in 2021. Liberia commits to reducing its economy-wide emissions by 64% below the projected business-as-usual level by 2030. This commitment is constructed from mitigation targets across nine key sectors—agriculture, forests, coastal zones, fisheries, health, transport, industry, energy, and waste—as well as cross-cutting targets for urban green corridors. The NDC also includes climate change adaptation targets. The estimated total cost of NDC implementation is USD 490 million dollars through 2025, including USD 90 million for mitigation and USD 400 million for adaptation measures.

Partnership Engagement

Membership: member since 2018
Country Engagement: Since joining the Partnership, Liberia has requested support related to mainstreaming NDCs into national/subnational planning and budgeting; capacity building and knowledge products; preparation of NDC related projects and pipelines for investment; and the mobilization of financial resources for NDC investment projects. With Partnership support, Liberia developed an NDC Action Plan for the period 2021 to 2025 covering nine sectors and nineteen outcome areas. In addition, partners have supported various activities, including through the Readiness Support for Greening Central Banks Initiative, a subnational climate sensitive review to support economic recovery, and improving the NDC coordination mechanism.
