The Corporate Manager for the German Develop­ment Cooperation (GIZ), Raymond Ahiadorme, has urged journalists in the country to play a vital role in educating the public about the causes and effects of climate change.

This call to action comes as the world marked World Radio Day on Friday, and GIZ has teamed up with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition to raise aware­ness about the devastating impacts of climate change.

At a masterclass training on cli­mate change journalism on Friday in Accra, the Corporate Manager emphasised that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels for power generation, deforestation with the drastic reduction of the forest to absorb carbon dioxide, were wreaking havoc on Ghana's climate.

This destructive trend is not only harming the environment but also having far-reaching consequences for local ecosystems and the econ­omy as a whole.
