The Executive Director/CEO of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo, has stressed that the national adaptation plans (NAPs) globally are critical frameworks established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to help countries like Liberia address the impacts of climate change.

Addressing the gathering at the High-Level Dialogue on the Implementation of Liberia’s NAP over the weekend at Farmington Hotel, Margibi County, the EPA Executive Director said given Liberia’s vulnerability to climate-related hazards such as flooding, drought, and rising sea levels, it is imperative that these plans are effectively implemented.
