Ghana's President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo has reiterated that the future cost of climate change will be prohibitive and counterproductive to the socio-economic gains made today if Ghana doesn’t find rapid actions to address its impact.
 
In line with this, the President said Ghana has updated its nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement from 2020 to 2030, considering its unique circumstances.
 
The update affirms the country's resolve to address the impacts of climate change on the country's economy and its vulnerable people.
 
The update was done on the sidelines of the ongoing UN Climate Conference also known as COP26 in Glasgow.

UN COP26

World leaders and environmentalists have gathered in Glasgow to participate in the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN COP26), which ends on November 12, 2021.

Since 1995, global leaders have met annually to firm up plans to tackle climate change. One of the highlights of the summit in Glasgow is to accelerate action towards meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Ghana committed to implementing thirty-one mitigation and adaptation actions across seven economic sectors in its nationally determined contribution to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015.
 
Currently, Ghana together with other countries across the globe are in Glasgow- Scotland to discuss the issue of climate change.
