On 4 August 2020 the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) hosted a webinar to discuss how least developed countries are proactively working at national level to put the goals of the Paris Agreement into practice. The online event focused on their experiences of the implications of the new transparency framework for LDC practitioners.

This webinar was the first in a series bringing together practitioners from LDCs with global practitioners, technical experts and other stakeholders to share their experiences in implementing frameworks and national policies, including the opportunities and challenges in bringing the Paris Agreement to life. Speakers also shared how COVID-19 has affected implementation activities.

This presentation was by Charles Asumana, the national project coordinator of Liberia’s First Biennial Update Report (BUR-1) project. He is responsible for overseeing the project's implementation, including the provision of technical assistance to the national technical expert groups, under UNEP supervision. He is also a technical expert reviewer to the UNFCCC.

He also shared Liberia’s current needs to be better prepared to implement the new enhanced transparency framework.
