Liberia
Republic of Liberia
Liberia is a post-conflict economy with significant natural resource potential. Key sectors include iron ore mining (ArcelorMittal operations at Yekepa), rubber plantations (Firestone), palm oil, gold, diamonds, and forestry. The country operates a dual-currency system (USD and LRD). Liberia has the world's second-largest ship registry by tonnage. Under President Joseph Boakai (elected 2023), the government is focused on anti-corruption, infrastructure, and economic recovery. Challenges include limited infrastructure, electricity access (28%), and post-Ebola economic recovery.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
