There is consensus on the central role that private-sector actors are able to play to support the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), as drivers of green growth, promoters of green supply chains, sources of investment in low-carbon and climate-resilient infrastructure, and as leaders of innovation in the development of clean technologies and the efficient use of resources.

Sierra Leone has been ranked as the most vulnerable nation after Bangladesh and Guinea Bissau to adverse effects of climate change. The population is highly vulnerable to climate change and due to high reliance to rain fed agriculture and natural resources-based livelihoods which are hard hit by the result of the associated global temperature increase. This is despite that the country's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are negligible. Thus, the country needs to plan accordingly and integrate climate change planning across its sectors.
