Sea level rise caused by climate change is putting millions of residents in Liberia’s nine coastal counties out of their homes and destroying their properties. A 2010 UNDP report on climate change in Liberia said that since 1969, sea erosion has removed at least 250 meters of the coastline, representing an average loss of 6.6 meters per year. Billions of people, lives, and livelihoods who are vulnerable to the effects of climate change depend upon the adoption of this recommended approach at Cop28.” DR. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, President, COP28 UAE said. Apart from developmental challenges such as infrastructure, climate change is one of Liberia’s pressing issues. With coastal erosion effects, the loss and damage fund is a financial instrument set up by big polluters to help smaller countries.
