Anthony S. Kollie, underscored the growing environmental and health concerns associated with aging vehicles and poor fuel quality. He noted that the rapid expansion of Liberia\u2019s vehicle fleet, coupled with the continued importation of high-emitting vehicles and fuels, presents significant challenges to the country\u2019s sustainable development and climate objectives.\n\nSupported by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and implemented with technical assistance from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the initiative has produced a comprehensive assessment of Liberia\u2019s fuel quality and vehicle efficiency landscape. The assessment provides critical evidence and strategic recommendations to guide policy reforms, strengthen regulatory frameworks, enhance compliance monitoring and support the adoption of cleaner transport solutions nationwide.\n\nHon. Kollie emphasized that the EPA will work closely with key government institutions, private sector actors, transport unions, civil society organizations and development partners to ensure that the findings are translated into practical and enforceable measures. These efforts will include public awareness campaigns, institutional capacity strengthening, stakeholder engagement, and robust enforcement mechanisms to curb the importation and use of substandard fuels and vehicles.\n\nThe workshop marked a pivotal step in Liberia\u2019s transition toward a cleaner, more efficient and climate-resilient transport sector; one that advances sustainable mobility, reduces harmful emissions and contributes meaningfully to the country\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets by 2035.","edit":false,"isAllImages":true,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[{"name":"719160126_1505325871636667_850325227837403501_n.jpg","uid":5946,"url":"https:\/\/ekmsliberia.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/719160126_1505325871636667_850325227837403501_n.jpg"},{"name":"718014503_1505325968303324_8087690081882678858_n.jpg","uid":5948,"url":"https:\/\/ekmsliberia.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/718014503_1505325968303324_8087690081882678858_n.jpg"}]},"googleBusinessProfile":{"button":"none","content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]},"instagram":{"comment":"","content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":true,"media":[]},"line":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]},"linkedin":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]},"pinterest":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[],"title":""},"telegram":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]},"threads":{"comment":"","content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[],"topic":""},"tiktok":{"allowComment":true,"content":"","duet":false,"edit":false,"media":[],"privacyLevel":"PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE","stitch":false},"tumblr":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]},"twitter":{"content":"","edit":false,"isAllImages":false,"isLinkCard":false,"link":"","media":[]}}}
