Takoradi, Oct. 10, GNA \u2013 The Western Nzema Youth League (WNYL), a youth group, has raised concerns about the rise in sea level affecting residents at Cape Three Points in the Western Region\u2019s Nzema enclave.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Patrick Ekye Kwesie, Leader of the WNYL, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency in an interview, said the residents faces the possibility of losing their homes and future opportunities due to the impact of climate change on the sea levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cCape Three Points, situated at the southernmost tip of Ghana, is not only a vital ecological zone but also a significant economic hub for local communities reliant on fishing and tourism.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the encroaching sea threatens to submerge their coastal settlements, disrupt livelihoods, and displace families.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Kwesie, thus, called on the Government and other relevant authorities to take immediate action to mitigate the potential destruction that rising waters could bring to the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe time for talk is over; we need decisive action now, so we are calling on the Government, environmental organisations, and local stakeholders to collaborate on sustainable solutions that addressed the root cause of climate change and its impacts on coastal communities,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He suggested the need for authorities to invest in infrastructure to protect against flooding, restoring mangroves, and promoting awareness about environmental conservation to help safeguard Cape Three Points from the devastating impacts of rising sea level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Kwesie said: \u201cWestern Nzema Youth League is also advocating the inclusion of youth voices in climate policy discussions, because young people must be part of the solution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the future stewards of this land, and our input is crucial in shaping policies that will protect our environment and communities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
