Tumbey said that a core pillar of the Paris Agreement is that countries, including Liberia, will scale up their national climate effort every five years. Mr. Tumbey told the gathering that addressing climate change requires decisive leadership and coordinated stakeholders input, adding that the UNDP is happy to be a part of this process. Benjamin Karmorh, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Focal Person, said that Liberia is a party to the Paris Climate Agreement, which he said was ratified in 2018. “INDC was a major requirement for all countries that were taking part in the Paris Climate Change talk, so Liberia submitted her plan of action in terms of how she would address climate change,” he said. According to Mr. Karmorh, Liberia told the international community that it was going to address climate change from an adaptation and mitigation standpoint.
