Ghana: National climate change master plan action programmes for implementation 2015–2020

This document will also serve as a guide to future national development planning framework to ensure that Ghana has a climate resilient economy to ensure low carbon development. This document is divided into ten (10) programme areas:

1. Develop climate-resilient agriculture and food security systems
2. Build climate-resilient infrastructure
3. Increase resilience of vulnerable communities to climate-related risks
4. Increase carbon sinks
5. Improve management and resilience of terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems
6. Address impacts of climate change on human health
7. Minimize impacts of climate change on access to water and sanitation
8. Address gender issues in climate change
9. Address climate change and migration
10. Minimize greenhouse gas emissions

The chapters give details of strategic focus areas of the NCCPS including task, budgets and timelines. The recommended actions given in this document should be translated into tangible programmes and projects that would benefit our communities and trigger the process of factoring climate issues in our development.
