The UAE and Ghana have unveiled a $30m partnership to bolster biodiversity and address climate change through community development initiatives.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made following the signing of a letter of intent by Dr Amna Al Dahak, UAE Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, and Samuel A Jinapor, Ghana\u2019s Minister of Lands and Natural Resources.<\/p>\n

This collaboration falls under Ghana\u2019s Resilient Ghana nature-climate strategy. It outlines six key investment areas, including biodiversity corridors, reforestation, and agroecology, all designed to generate simultaneous benefits for climate, biodiversity, and local communities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr Al Dahak emphasised the UAE\u2019s commitment to global environmental goals. \u201cOur partnership with Ghana is a testament to our focus on biodiversity, climate, and development. This investment will enhance afforestation efforts and positively impact local livelihoods, fostering greater community engagement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Supporting Ghana\u2019s carbon reduction initiatives<\/h2>\n

Minister Jinapor highlighted the critical need for additional financial mechanisms to bridge implementation gaps in the country\u2019s carbon reduction initiatives. \u201cWhile Ghana is receiving carbon payments, we require comprehensive support to maximise emission reductions and enhance ecosystem protection,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe are grateful to the UAE for its commitment to enhancing livelihoods and preserving our forests.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership also prioritises gender equality and youth involvement, aligning with the UAE Consensus established at COP28, which aims to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030. Additionally, it seeks to integrate climate strategies with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.<\/p>\n

Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP28, who was present at the signing commented on the significance of the partnership, saying, \u201cThis initiative exemplifies the coordinated action needed to meet our climate targets while delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and safeguarding biodiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both nations plan to present details of their initial projects at COP29 in Baku this November and at COP30 in 2025.<\/p>\n

The UAE and Ghana are also members of the Forest and Climate Leaders Partnership, further emphasising their commitment to global climate and biodiversity efforts.<\/p>\n
