Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Environmental Protection Agency in Collaboration with Conservation International and the Swedish Embassy has held a one-day High-level Stakeholders Engagement on Single-Use Plastic to find the mean of eradicating the proliferation of the use of plastic.<\/p>\n

The event that was held at the Monrovia City Hall on Wednesday was attended by government officials and development partners.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, the Executive Director of the EPA Professor Wilson Tarpeh praised the development partners for their support in fighting to eradicate single-use plastic.<\/p>\n

According to him, the issue of single-use plastic is something that the government of Liberia had shown strong interest in.<\/p>\n

He added that in Nairobi, Kenya last year, the government signed up to eradicate the use of plastic in Liberia.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mandate at the EPA is that we encourage the possibility of having an environment that is safe and clean,\u201d Mr. Tarpeh said.<\/p>\n

Mike Izava Olendo is the Director of the Blue Ocean Program from the Conservation International Liberia.<\/p>\n

He told FrontPage Africa that from the dialogue, both the government and partners hope to achieve a consensus on marine policy and plastic policy, as well as single-use plastic policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this dialogue, we hope to create a mechanism on how to reduce the impact of plastic on our environment and form a plastic policy of Liberia,\u201d Olendo said.<\/p>\n

He added that the issue of behavior change is something that needs to be looked at in dealing with the eradication of plastic in Liberia.<\/p>\n

He said four years after the Blue Ocean conference, there has been some awareness of single-use plastic but there has been no policy instrument to guide or ban the use of single plastic.<\/p>\n

Jefferson F. Nyandibo is the Manager for Multilateral Environmental Agreements and National Focal Point UNFCCC<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe are here to reawaken our commitment made as a country during the Blue Ocean conference and we are going to make sure that we collaborate with other countries around the world on the use of single-use plastic,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

According to Nynafibo, the issue of awareness is lacking in the fight to eradicate the proliferation of single-use plastic in the country.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIf anything that is lacking is awareness. People need to know the harm for settle things that they do. And once they get to know they will take preventive action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jenkins F. Flahwor is the Program Officer for Environmental Climate Change and Natural Resources at the Swedish Embassy in Liberia.<\/p>\n

He told FrontPage Africa during the event that the high-level stakeholder engagement is the outcome of the Blue Ocean conference that was four years ago.<\/p>\n

He promised to support the government of Liberia in addressing the issue that affects the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur role is supporting the government of Liberia with development priority and how they can address these critical environmental issues,\u201d Mr. Flahwor said.<\/p>\n
