Overview
Liberia Carbon Markets Authority addresses climate and development challenges through five core focus areas: Carbon Market, Climate Policy & Governance, Sustainable Agriculture & Forestry, Renewable Energy Transition, and Blue Economy. Together, these pillars form the foundation of Liberia’s climate ambition, powering innovation, inclusivity, and sustainable progress for every community.
Each focus area drives targeted action—from advancing responsible carbon trading and modern climate policies, to promoting land stewardship, clean energy, and the protection of vital coastal and marine resources.
Carbon Market
CMA leads the development of Liberia’s carbon market, enabling transparent carbon trading and climate finance. Through rigorous standards and strong oversight, we create opportunities for communities, investors, and organizations to generate and trade high-integrity carbon credits, supporting nationwide climate action.
Climate Policy & Governance
Our work in climate policy and governance ensures that Liberia’s strategies align with global best practices while serving local needs. CMA coordinates policy development, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory oversight, empowering effective climate adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development across sectors.
Sustainable Agriculture & Forestry
We promote agricultural and forestry practices that protect Liberia’s biodiversity, boost rural livelihoods, and reduce emissions. Our programs focus on sustainable land management, community-based forestry, reforestation, and innovation in agriculture, all designed to deliver lasting environmental and economic benefits.
Renewable Energy Transition
CMA champions the transition to clean and renewable energy across Liberia. By supporting solar, wind, hydro, and modern bioenergy projects, we reduce reliance on fossil fuels, expand access to energy, and unlock green jobs, helping Liberia advance toward a resilient, low-carbon future.
Blue Economy
Our Blue Economy efforts focus on responsible stewardship of Liberia’s ocean and water resources. We foster partnerships for sustainable fisheries, coastal restoration, eco-tourism, and climate-smart infrastructure, ensuring marine ecosystems thrive while supporting local communities and national prosperity.
