Abstract
From 1981 to 2018, the study examines the occurrence, impact, and adaptation strategies associated with extreme climate events in Liberia, a nation located in the tropical monsoon zone of Sub-Saharan Africa. Using meteorological data, satellite observations, and socioeconomic records, the study examines patterns of rainfall variability, temperature extremes, flooding, coastal erosion, and other climate-induced phenomena. It has emerged from the analysis that these events have had significant impacts on the economy, society, and environment, including disruptions in agriculture, damage to infrastructure, and displacement of vulnerable communities as a result of these events—Liberia's response to various challenges through traditional practices, government policies, and international partnerships. The findings indicate that while some progress has been made in building resilience, there are still gaps in data management, disaster preparedness, and policy implementation. This research highlights the need for improved climate modeling, investment in sustainable development, and regional cooperation to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how extreme climate events affect vulnerable regions in Sub-Saharan Africa and offer actionable insights for stakeholders involved in disaster management and sustainable development.
