The Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG) has stated that Ghana must navigate the \u201cdelicate balance between political stability, economic resilience, and the increasing challenges posed by climate change\u201d as it approaches the December polls.<\/p>\n
This according to CCAG is because many of the problems experienced by Ghana highlight the wider implications of climate change for the Sub-Saharan region.<\/p>\n
In its September 2024 report on \u201cSolving the Climate Change Conundrum,\u201d CCAG noted that the country faces challenges including economic reliance on primary products, dependence on gold and oil, vulnerability of the agriculture sector, political tensions, and economic instability.<\/p>\n
CCAG indicated that \u201cClimate is never far from the many strands of political and economic narrative in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
It said that because the climate was never far from the many strands of political and economic narrative in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, climate change is not an explicit part of political dialogue. A senior policymaker might consider \u2018climate\u2019 as a factor in deliberations, but in the eyes of voters, economic considerations \u2013 the cost of living and employment prospects \u2013 is crucial,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
Fatima Denton, the CCAG member, noted that this position is problematic because current economic hardship is related in many ways to the impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact of being the second largest cocoa producer, and as a commodity economy, Ghana is seeing hardship that it hasn\u2019t seen in the last 10 to 20 years \u2013 largely because the production of cocoa is more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana\u2019s wealth of resources, including oil, gold, and gas, suggests that the country could be in a stronger and more advantageous position, despite the pressures of climate change, but even in these other fields, shifting global markets are affected by many factors, including the global climate crisis,\u201d she further underscored.<\/p>\n\n
