Ghana has earned about $800 million through carbon credit trading with other countries, the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has disclosed.

He said the amount would go a long way to help Ghana finance its climate-resilient projects as part of measures to reduce global carbon emissions.

Carbon credits are incentives paid by com­panies or individuals to entities that remove or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The monies are to compensate for the gases emitted by the companies.
