This document presents the Republic of Liberia’s third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC3.0), a bold and inclusive climate action roadmap that aligns national development priorities with global climate goals under the Paris Agreement. Building on previous submissions, this NDC is informed by the first global stocktake (GST) and is fully integrated with Liberia's national development strategy, the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).

Liberia is extremely vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, with approximately 60% of its population residing near the coast and a heavy reliance on climate-sensitive sectors. Despite its negligible contribution to global GHG emissions, the nation faces severe risks from sea-level rise, unpredictable rainfall, and flooding. Its 580-km coastline, where about 60% of the population resides, is highly susceptible to sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and storm surges. Key sectors are already experiencing significant climate-related stress. Agriculture sector, which contributes approximately 38% to GDP and employs nearly 70% of the population, is threatened by rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall, jeopardizing food security. Intense rainfall and flooding regularly damage Liberia's road network, of which about 85% is unpaved, impeding access to markets and essential

services. The population faces growing risks from climate-induced diseases such as malaria, cholera, and respiratory infections, which are exacerbated by flooding and heat stress. Liberia's climate commitments are anchored in a robust suite of national policies and legal frameworks that integrate climate action directly into the country's development agenda. Key among these is the AAID, which establishes environmental sustainability as a core pillar of national development; the foundational Environment Protection and Management Law (EPML), which empowers the EPA to regulate GHG emissions; and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), which guides resilience efforts across all sectors.
