AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoClimate Loss and Damage: As COP31 approaches, researchers reviewing a decade of climate policies in Sierra Leone and four other West African countries are asking how plans can account for losses beyond repair costs — including displacement, damaged cultural sites and broken community ties — and turn global funding pledges into practical support. Freetown’s Watersheds: The water resources agency and partners are planning community-led restoration to protect the Western Area Peninsula’s catchments, which supply about 90% of the city’s water. Deforestation, construction, quarrying and pollution are putting them under pressure. Waste Management: A new US$4.66 million, five-year project aims to cut pollution and improve Freetown’s waste system, with government and UN partners stressing coordination and public engagement. Coastal Protection: Sierra Leone’s “Coastal Watch Schools” project, using youth and drones to monitor vanishing shores, won a public-vote award at the OceanLove Innovation Awards.
