German Ambassador calls for people-centred coastal protection in Volta Region

The Ambassador made the call during a Climate Talks 2026 dialogue organised by the German Embassy in Keta on Wednesday, October 14, under the theme, “Coastal Erosion and Its Impact on Human Security.

He said efforts to address coastal erosion must go beyond physical protection of the coastline to include early prevention, community preparedness and sustainable livelihood interventions to help residents cope with climate-related risks.

German Ambassador to Ghana Frederik Landshöft has called for a people-centred approach to coastal adaptation in the Volta Region, emphasising the need to protect the lives, homes and livelihoods of communities affected by coastal erosion.
