In order to achieve ambitious national climate goals, the use of economic instruments such as crop and climate insurance, taxes, feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and other financial incentives are important enablers. The CTCN is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to support local entrepreneurs, small- and medium enterprises and larger businesses, as well as governmental decision-makers, in identifying these economic instruments. Furthermore the CTCN provides technical assistance for strengthening countries’ capacity to access international financing for climate technology opportunities.

Context
Liberia has an overall lack of energy access which presents a major challenge to the country’s development agenda. At approximately 12%, Liberia has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world. In the capital of Monrovia, less than 20% of population has access to electricity. The current energy situation is dominated by traditional biomass consumption for cooking, heating and lighting. There is an urgent need for reliable and affordable improved electricity services to support Liberia’s economic transformation and improved human development post-conflict.
