Climate Change in Africa

Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions but is disproportionately affected by climate change. Understanding these impacts is crucial for building resilience and adaptation strategies.

Key Impacts: Rising temperatures affecting agriculture. Changing rainfall patterns leading to droughts and floods. Sea level rise threatening coastal communities. Increased frequency of extreme weather events.

Ghana faces unique climate challenges including coastal erosion, deforestation, and water scarcity in northern regions. These issues affect millions of people's livelihoods.

African countries are developing innovative solutions: Renewable energy projects, climate-smart agriculture, reforestation initiatives, and circular economy approaches.
