Environment and Climate Change in Ghana: Policy Brief

Environment and Climate Change in Ghana: Policy Brief

January 17, 2022

Ghana has committed to reducing its GHG emissions and climate adaptation in several priority sectors under its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), including mass transit, infrastructure, land use and food production, energy, and forest and water resources management. Ghana requires between US$ 9.3 and US$15.5 billion of investment to implement the 47 nationally determined contribution measures from 2020 to 2030. Over US$ 5.4 is expected from international sources. 

The financing gap between sustainability and business as usual, including the deficit to meet conditional NDC targets, requires that a business case be made to connect private enterprise, social entrepreneurship, innovation, and research. A threshold of expertise needs to be met to effectively craft innovative financial solutions and bankable projects, aggregate and scale projects to attract institutional investors.
