Liberia climate finance and natural asset management

Overview

Liberia is pursuing multiple strategies to secure climate finance and manage environmental challenges such as flooding and coastal erosion. Initially, the government focused on seeking accreditation for direct access to the Green Climate Fund. This effort aims to empower the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning to manage project financing and secure capacity-building support.

Following these efforts, Liberia expanded its approach by launching a plan to monetize its natural assets, including forests, mangroves, and coastlines, through carbon markets. The Liberia Carbon Markets Authority has worked to establish digital infrastructure and regulatory frameworks to integrate the nation’s green and blue assets into a natural capital system. This strategy seeks to attract high-integrity investment to compensate local communities for environmental protection.
