The Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly identifies coastal erosion, flash floods, windstorms, erratic rainfall, droughts, and heat waves as its main climate hazards. Key sensitive sectors include agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, tourism, and water/health. Proposed adaptation measures focus on coastal protection, enforcing building codes and mining laws, nature-based solutions like mangrove planting, and improving early warning systems and irrigation.

• The Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly identifies six primary climate hazards: coastal erosion/sea level rise, flash floods, windstorms, erratic rainfall, droughts, and heat waves.
• Climate sensitivity is high across several sectors: agriculture is affected by erratic rainfall, high temperatures, heat waves, floods, dry spells, rainstorms, and lightning; forestry is impacted by deforestation, pollution, logging, and illegal mining; infrastructure and transport are vulnerable to floods, rainstorms, and tidal waves; tourism is threatened by sea level rise and storm surges; and water, sanitation, and human health are affected by drought and flooding.
• Proposed adaptation options include the protection of infrastructure and coastal properties, enforcement of building codes and laws against coastal mining, the use of nature-based solutions such as planting mangroves, improving early warning systems, constructing drainage systems, and installing irrigation.
