Liberia seeks $5.5B climate fund for forests but faces challenges in governance and deforestation.
Liberia is pursuing funding from the $5.5 billion Tropical Forest Forever Facility, launched at COP30, to support forest conservation and climate resilience.
The facility offers results-based payments for verified deforestation reductions, with 20% of funds earmarked for indigenous and local communities.
While Liberia has improved forest governance under the Boakai administration, challenges persist, including illegal logging, corruption, failed donor projects, and rising deforestation driven by poverty and climate-related crop failures.
In regions like Nimba and Montserrado, weakened conservation and community displacement have fueled forest degradation.
Experts stress that Liberia must strengthen monitoring, ensure transparent benefit sharing, and provide sustainable livelihoods to qualify for funding.
Without systemic reforms, the country risks missing out on critical financial support despite its global climate significance.
