AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Heat and livelihoods: A new report, “Counting the Cost of Heat,” says extreme heat is already cutting city economies and hitting the most vulnerable hardest, including Freetown, where heat is linked to major economic losses and deaths. Coastal fishing rights: Sierra Leone’s Human Rights Commission warns that environmental degradation and weak governance are turning the struggle of coastal fishing communities into a human rights crisis, with gaps in coordination, low awareness of fisheries laws, and reports of child labour. Rainy-season flooding risk: Residents along the Hill Side Bypass Road in Freetown say an abandoned drainage clearing project is worsening flooding and sanitation, raising fears of mosquito-borne disease spread. Green finance push: Sierra Leone’s banking and microfinance sectors adopt the country’s first voluntary sustainable finance principles to better factor environmental and social risks into lending and investment decisions. Sustainable tourism call: Sierra Leone’s tourism minister urges the diaspora to invest in tourism and culture, linking tourism to environmental protection and forest-community livelihoods. Labour enforcement: Sierra Leone’s labour ministry steps up inspections on the Masiaka–Waterloo Highway, flagging work-permit and workplace safety violations and warning of sanctions.
