Climate change- the challenge
Adaptation- What is it?
Climate Change adaptation and ICTs
Conclusion
Undoubtedly, Climate Change is one of the
greatest complex development challenges of
our time
Its impacts are already visible
Most recent scientific evidence shows the
problem is worsening fast and is already
stretching the ability of human and natural
systems to adapt.
In Ghana, most sensitive sectors of the
economy such as agriculture, forestry, energy
production, health, internal security etc. are
threatened by Climate Change according to
studies by the Environmental Protection
Agency.
How Climate Change is dealt with today will
have a direct bearing on human development
prospects in future
Experts predict that in many sub-Saharan
African countries, climate change could mean:
1. more frequent drought and floods
2. water scarcity
3. increased health challenges like under-nutrition.
7. Technology transfer
