Ghana like most developing countries in Africa is vulnerable to climate change impacts and drastic action is required to turn the tide.
Emissions in Ghana are expected to rise from 28 Mt CO2e in 2021 to over 140 Mt in 2050, with the bulk of emissions growth coming from transport, driven by population growth, GDP per capita growth, and vehicle ownership.
Over the past decade, the oil sector has contributed around $6.5 billion of direct revenue to Ghana's budget.
This sector is an indicator and driver in the growth of the economy and for decades the country still depends heavily on this sector to run its industries, transportation, economy and a determinant of prices of goods and services in the country.
