An Evaluation of Sierra Leone’s Environmental Policies 2013-2022, and The Consequences of Environmental Degradation

The book sheds insight into the impacts of environmental policies in the contexts of Sierra Leone as a transitioning country, and explores the ramifications of environmental degradation. It provides insights into how policy interventions impact sustainable development and long-term consequences of neglecting environmental concerns in Sierra Leone, and possibly the entire sub-Saharan Africa. Policies can lead to improvement in air and water quality, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. However, they can face challenges such as limited resources, conflicting priorities, and resistance from industries. But, collaboration among stakeholders, robust enforcement mechanisms, with support from development partners, sustainable outcomes could be achieved.
