Ghana launched its national climate change policy in 2013 and it's National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in 2014. Following that, there has been so many organized by various organizations and institution (Ghana Youth Environmental Movement, Ecoscript, Green Africa Youth Organization, Leadership in Conservation Africa, Universities, Forestry Commission, etc.) to draw attention to the diverse impacts of climate change on our dear nation.

The agricultural sector which contributes a lot to the GDP of the country is now being affected due to unpredictable rainfall pattern which has also led to the announcement of the Ghana Agricultural Insurance Policy for some category of farmers of which we hope it will extend to all farmers soon enough.

Despite all these challenges and impacts of climate change, the country has not been able to communicate climate change impacts and the call for climate action to its citizens. Is it lack of understanding? Or we just don?t prioritize our environmental safety! Ghana as a developing country in 2014 has reported over 1,000 cases of cholera in about two months. Filth is engulfing us, and we all need to understand the democratic impact of having an unsafe environment. The rich can choose not to eat at any place but the rich doesn't decide the kind of air he wants to breath, it's about time we prioritize our environment and implement the set rules and legalities assigned to ensure a safe environment for our incoming generations. 

We should be "ecocentric" in keeping our communities clean. If you keep your house and its surroundings clean and your neighbor does the same, together we will have a clean community and thus, a clean Ghana. Public education should be welcomed and introduced to our rural and coastal communities who usually regard water bodies as dumping site which prevents flow and causes lots of impact aside the trending climate change impacts that hits the country.

NGOs and other private sectors should step up and all call for climate action, educating the public about the effects. Climate Change is not a myth, as some do regard it, due to illiteracy. Together we must create much awareness and help communicate the message of climate action until we have everyone joining the global climate action movement. I have started and have made significant impact, I hope you join me soon.
