Liberia: Democracy in Focus
Part One of a Two Part Series: Climate Change is Here. Farmers and Coastal Communities Struggle to Adapt
As our new government takes shape we look at a looming problem that threatens to upend life as we know it.
We’re talking, about climate change. From Liberia’s coast to its forests people are feeling the impact of changing weather. In the first of two programs devoted to climate change we explore a new problem plaguing farmers: pests.
We find the Weah government’s failure to fund the massive coastal defense project has led to delays. In Nimba, we learn about smart farming practices that are helping farmers adjust.
And.. we ask Liberia’s representative on climate change what the new global loss and damage fund will mean for the country.
