Ghana: Ghana Climate Change Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GH2023-0008

The impacts of climate change are beginning to manifest on the entire globe and particularly on developing countries like Ghana. The country is vulnerable to rising sea levels, droughts, increasing temperatures and erratic rainfall which adversely impacts infrastructure, hydropower production, food security and coastal and agricultural livelihoods. To address these challenges, Ghana will need to rely on international donors to fund climate change interventions as the current economic climate in the country will not allow for Ghana to self-fund activities to address climate change.
