Socio-Economic Linkages between Sustainable Land Management, Climate Change & Biodiversity in LiberiaThere is a growing recognition that while each Rio Convention does stand on its own, with its own defined objectives and commitments, there are also mutual dependencies and inherent relationships among them. However, Climate change and its associated impacts negatively affect human health, food security, employment, income generation and ecosystem services. Climate change has adverse effects on developing countries like Liberia, where populations are most vulnerable and least likely to easily adapt and that climate change will affect the potential for development in Liberia. Sustainable management of our environment and natural resources can reduce the vulnerability and impacts of climate change; especially on women and children. Climate Change impacts such as coastal erosion, flooding and drought, land degradation/deforestation and the unsustainable use of biological diversity poses threat to Liberia national development goals.
