Ghana's NDC Financing Strategy

December 17, 2021

Ghana committed to 31 mitigation and adaptation actions across seven economic sectors in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015 and followed up with the ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2016. This made Ghana a Party to the Paris Agreement and demonstrated political commitment to both the people of Ghana and the international community that Ghana is acting together with its peers to combat climate change.

The NDCs are the country’s defined climate actions that also envisage inclusive green growth and improved resilience of infrastructure and services. The NDCs are expected to contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will require $22.6 billion in funding for implementation. Significant resources (financial, technology and capacity) are needed alongside government commitments to implement the NDCs.

This financing strategy is intended to provide direction to help mobilize resources for the implementation of the NDCs, and in doing so, enable Ghana to achieve climate mitigation and adaptation targets.
