GHANA KEY OBSERVED & ANTICIPATED CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS

The document details Ghana's approach to integrating climate adaptation into government policy and planning. It identifies priority sectors for adaptation—including agriculture, energy, water, health, infrastructure, gender, and forestry—and lists specific climate threats such as increased temperatures, rainfall variability, and sea level rise. It also provides a timeline of policy milestones from 2012 to 2018, including the development of the National Climate Change Policy and the submission of a NAP Readiness Proposal to the Green Climate Fund.

• Ghana's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process is designed to identify medium and long-term adaptation actions, improve institutional coordination, and speed up the mobilization of adaptation funds by mainstreaming climate considerations across government ministries and sub-national structures.
• The government has identified several priority sectors for adaptation, including agriculture, energy, water, health, infrastructure, gender, and forestry, which face risks such as sea level rise, rainfall variability, increased temperatures, and the loss of carbon sinks.
• Ghana has established a series of climate policy milestones between 2012 and 2018, including a National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (2010–2020), a National Climate Change Policy (2013), and the creation of climate change units within the energy, forestry, and agriculture sectors in 2017.
