We bring listeners to communities across Liberia reeling from what many describe as the worst rainy season in memory, with floodwaters submerging homes, forcing tens of thousands from their villages, and claiming lives as experts warn these disasters signal an even more volatile climate future. Through the voices of mothers, farmers, and local leaders on the ground, alongside analysis from climate specialists, the story captures both the human toll of unprecedented flooding and the growing calls for massive government investment in climate adaptation to protect lives, livelihoods, and the country’s fragile economy. New Narratives’ Evelyn Kpadeh Seagbeh reports from Grand Cape County for Okay FM.
