Ghana: Changing Weather Patterns Encourage Action
The quest for climate justice is a global campaign but failing to act local by taking action, as a matter of urgency, will be at the peril of lives and livelihoods. Africa and other developing countries, which contributed least to the phenomenon of climate change, are unfortunately most vulnerable to its impacts. Local people and communities are already reeling under the devastating impacts of unfavourable weather conditions. Ghana, since the beginning of this year, has experienced a sharp alteration in its weather and living environment. Destructive downpour, debilitating sunshine, drought, incessant fire outbreaks, high tides and widespread flooding, and pest infestations are now commonplace.
