As Ghanaians prepare to go to the polls on Saturday, December 7, 2024, the Environment Report under the Connecting Communities Climate and Politics for Tomorrow (3CP) Project calls on the electorates to prioritise issues of environmental sustainability in their decisions.
The group said Ghanaians must take into consideration candidates who will prioritise protecting the environment as the country suffers from the negative impacts of climate change.
Ghana is currently facing severe climate change impacts, including extreme weather events, droughts, rising sea levels, disruptions to ecosystems and livelihoods, loss of biodiversity, health risks, and high agricultural prices due to erratic water supply.
These challenges are exacerbated by illegal mining and logging in forest reserves, river pollution, poor agricultural practices, and open waste burning.
