MARYLAND COUNTY, LIBERIA-The National Climate Change Secretariat is conducting a series of stakeholders’ engagements in Harper, bringing citizens together to discuss Liberia’s emerging climate policy.

The gathering centered on carbon policy and the proposed development of a national climate change law, a framework aimed at protecting the environment and communities vulnerable to climate impacts.

Speaking at the opening session, Mr. Simpson Snoh, a consultant at the Secretariat, outlined the NCCS’s ongoing activities in the County.

He emphasized that citizens’ input will play a critical role in shaping policies that address Liberia’s climate challenges while promoting sustainable development.

The Harper meeting is part of a broader national effort to ensure that local perspectives inform climate legislation expected to guide Liberia’s environmental strategy in the coming years.

Meanwhile, a Consultant at the National Climate Change Secretariat, Simpson Snoh, has praised the Government for the progress made on the highway connecting Monrovia to Maryland County.

According to our Correspondent, the route has, over the years, been overwhelmed by poor road conditions.

Snoh, who is visiting the southeast on a climate change tour, said he is impressed by the improvement on the Highway.

He also urged the government not to relent, emphasizing the need for additional work to ensure stronger road connectivity between River Gee and Nimba Counties.

The Monrovia to Maryland corridor is critical to the economic and social lifeline for residents of the southeast, where road conditions often dictate the flow of goods, services, and humanitarian aid.
