By Selma Lomax, [email protected] LACRA Director General Christopher D. Sankolo and Deputy Director General for Operations and Technical Services Alpha K.

NEW YORK, USA — Liberia’s natural-resource wealth should be managed as a foundation for peace, resilience and sustainable development rather than treated solely as an economic asset, Environmental Protection Agency Executive Director Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo has told an international gathering in New York. By Selma Lomax, [email protected] Dr. Yarkpawolo made the assertion Wednesday during a high-level Government of Liberia side event convened on the margins of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. The meeting brought together government officials, United Nations representatives, development partners and experts to discuss the increasingly important connection between climate change, natural resources and conflict. The event, held under the theme “The Nexus Between Climate, Conflict and Natural Resources: Pathways to Peace, Resilience, and Sustainable Development,” was organized by the Government of Liberia through the Environmental Protection Agency, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme. The engagement is taking place ahead of Liberia’s December 2026 presidency of the United Nations Security Council, with the organizers seeking to draw greater international attention to the links between environmental challenges, peace and sustainable development. Opening the event, Dr. Yarkpawolo said Liberia’s natural endowment presents the country with significant opportunities, but cautioned that the...
