Liberia's Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), submitted in September 2025, outlines a revised climate action plan aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. The document updates the national base year for emissions from 2015 to 2022, resulting in a significant increase in absolute emission reduction targets. It integrates climate resilience across multiple sectors—including energy, agriculture, forestry, transport, and waste—and aligns with the national ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID). The plan emphasizes gender-responsive and socially inclusive actions, specifically targeting the needs of women, youth, and children.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute argues that sanitation is a critical but neglected component of climate action. It highlights the gap between the potential of sanitation to reduce climate vulnerability and the actual lack of integration in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and climate finance. The document outlines how sanitation services contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through anaerobic decomposition and energy-intensive treatment, while proposing a framework for better policy coherence through research, planning, and capacity development.

This delivery report describes a matchmaking workshop held on 4 May 2021 by TEM – Lund University as part of the sWASH&grow project. The event aimed to explore how sustainable healthcare infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries can serve as a leverage point for implementing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) solutions and fostering sustainable community development.
