This fact sheet describes Ghana's participation in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition's (CCAC) Supporting National Action and Planning (SNAP) initiative to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). It details the integration of SLCP measures into national development plans, the use of the LEAP-IBC tool for emissions planning, and specific sectoral actions in transport, energy, and cooling.

• Ghana joined the CCAC in 2012 and began national planning under the SNAP initiative in 2013 to align development with sustainability and integrate environmental concerns into the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda.
• The Ghana EPA is utilizing the LEAP-IBC tool to calculate emissions and benefits across both energy and non-energy sectors, providing a strategic framework for the EPA and the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) to track SLCP mitigation progress.
• Ghana is implementing several sectoral measures to reduce SLCPs: in transport, it is developing vehicle and motor emission standards based on Euro Standards; in energy, it has distributed 200,000 solar lanterns to replace kerosene and aims to install 200,000 rooftop solar panels to reduce diesel generator reliance; and in cooling, the Green Cooling Programme has installed 30 low-GWP HFC air conditioning units for efficiency monitoring.
• To ensure long-term implementation and transparency, Ghana is incorporating NDC and SLCP actions into a 'Ghana 40-year plan' starting in 2018 and has launched a public website to monitor progress in attaining emission reduction targets.
• While access to finance remains a challenge for small enterprises due to perceived risk, the Ministry of Finance has established a climate change unit serving as the National Designated Authority for the Green Climate Fund.
