Accra, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During a Ministerial Dialogue in Accra, hosted by Ghana\u2019s Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Environment (MESTI), the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) announced the findings of Ghana\u2019s first National Assessment to explore how best to enhance the resilience of its national infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana: Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate\u201d<\/a>, was initiated by GCA and developed under the leadership of MESTI in collaboration with the University of Oxford, the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).<\/p>\n

As a result of climate change, Ghana is expected to experience more acute climate hazards such as flooding, as well as more frequent and intense droughts. This has the potential to threaten the socio-economic development gains which made Ghana a middle-income country. The National Assessment focused on the energy, transport and water sectors to assess climate hazards to infrastructure assets and to prioritize adaptation investments to address those risks.<\/p>\n

Key findings from \u201cGhana: Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate\u201d include:<\/p>\n
