Twenty-five employees of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia over the weekend completed an intensive training workshop in Climate Change Data Collection. The workshop was supported by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.

Participants of the two-day training held at a local hotel in Monrovia were taught how to collect and analyze climate change data. The participants were also taught basic concepts of climate change, impacts of climate change on major sectors of Liberia, including agriculture, health, fishery, forestry, and Liberia's national response to climate change.

Other topics taught at the training workshop included 'Sources of Climate Change Data and National Databases and Data Collection, Verification, Compilation and Reporting Methods.'
