Goal 13 aims to “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.”<\/strong><\/p>

For Ghana, this means building resilience against climate shocks like droughts and floods that threaten agriculture and livelihoods, while also contributing to global mitigation efforts through cleaner energy and sustainable land use. Key priorities include implementing the National Climate Change Policy, strengthening early warning systems, promoting climate-smart agriculture, and accessing international finance for adaptation projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
