Ghana’s Adaptation Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Summary
Ghana's first Adaptation Communication (AdCom), led by the Environmental Protection Agency, evaluates the country's progress in adaptation planning. While the document notes significant progress in institutional structures, governance, and capacity building across various sectors, it characterizes overall gains as modest and a foundation for more ambitious future actions.
Key insights
- Ghana has made significant progress in adaptation planning through the development of policy, collaborative partnerships, knowledge and capacity building, institutional strengthening, and program implementation at both national and sub-national levels.
- Despite progress, the adaptation gains achieved so far are considered modest and serve as a starting point for more ambitious actions to ensure sustainable development and climate resilience.
