Accra, Aug. 25, GNA – Mr. Cephas Adjei Mensah, Director, Research, Statistics, and Information, Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, has advocated coordination between government and non-governmental organisations to advance Ghana’s climate change course.
He said the institutional framework of Ghana’s climate change efforts was currently fragmented and not unified.
The Director was speaking at a presentation at the Climate Change and Health Strategy Workshop organised by Packs Africa.
The workshop served as a critical platform for discussions on climate change management and its impact on health in Ghana and West Africa.
It featured a high-profile expert discussion from diverse disciplines and institutions to address the urgent topic of climate change.
The major themes of the workshop also included a policy session on understanding the changing situation in Ghana on climate change management and generating research priorities for climate change and health.
Mr. Adjei Mensah said the absence of coordination led to fragmented research efforts in policymaking and implementation of Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions on climate change.
