Addressing climate change and health in Ghana and West Africa: a summit report
The Summit was organised and delivered by the Ministry of Health, Ghana; PACKS Africa, Ghana; and the University of Southampton, UK. Funding for the event was provided via Research England.
The health and socio-economic consequences of climate change are undeniable. Ghana, and more widely West Africa, has been described by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a hotspot of climate change, experiencing rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and extreme weather events. The 2023 Conference of the Parties (COP) Summit introduced priorities and agreements around climate and health.
This policy brief reports on the key points raised at the one-day Summit, and the subsequent half-day roundtable discussions.
