Liberia is stepping forward with ambitious climate commitments at the 30th UN Climate Summit in Belém, Brazil, pushing to cut emissions by 64% by 2035 while advancing its Vision 2030 development agenda. But progress is being challenged by shifting global politics, including the U.S. withdrawal from key climate commitments, raising concerns about reduced international support. As Liberia faces worsening heat, floods and unpredictable rainfall at home, officials and advocates are calling for stronger climate financing, adaptation support, and greater youth inclusion to ensure the country’s climate goals are achievable.
