Ghana has introduced some climate change policies and general environmental regulations but has yet to pass a Climate Change Act.

Key Points: 
  • Ghana has introduced some climate change policies and general environmental regulations but has yet to pass a Climate Change Act.
  • Climate change law expert Kikelomo Kila sets out her findings in a recent paper on why Ghana must not follow the “command and control” regulatory approach.
  • Under the first approach, Ghana mostly relies on the Environmental Protection Agency Act (1994) to regulate climate change matters.
  • The problem with this approach is that climate change impacts are secondary to issues like land use and conservation.
  • The country’s climate change regulator, the National Council on Climate Change, instituted programmes and policies for key emissions sectors.

    Your research paper recommends that Ghana follow an alternative approach to climate change regulation.

  • The government introduced the Climate Change Act 2016 and the Climate Change (Amendment) Act 2023 which combine prescriptive and economic tools.
