Monrovia – The Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA), Professor Wilson K. Tarpeh has renewed the entity’s commitment in the fight against climate change, which impacts remain visible across the country. The Paris Agreement requires all parties to put together their best efforts to combat climate change through their respective nationally determined contributions. The workshop was divided into four sessions including the opening session, technical session (Overview of the Workshop, Sector Working Group Overview, and Setting Sector Expectations); question session and working session. “The national policies are weak, often not localized and that institutional readiness is dismal for the most part”, Mr. Assaf quoted the National Capacity Assessment for Managing Climate Change Impact in Liberia. For his part, Manuel Fuentes, EU-Liberia Climate Change Project Leader did a presentation on ‘Setting sector Expectation’.
