The EU Delegation to Ghana will tomorrow 25th September, 2019, begin the “EU Climate Diplomacy Week” celebration with the launch of a week long activities at the Ministry of Health School.
The Climate Diplomacy Weeks are organized all over the world by EU Delegations to create awareness on the impact of climate change in the world.
They are also meant to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change in the context of sustainable development.
This year, the week is dedicated to Regreening Ghana with activities being implemented in Accra and Kumasi.
Planting trees, awareness activities at schools, a roundtable discussion on regreening the city, a workshop on youth and reforestation and a beach clean-up are some of the events that will take place during the week.
Last year, the week was dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling waste.
This year, the theme is reforestation, with the slogan #RegreeningGhana.
The week is being organised in close partnership with Accra Municipal Assembly, Kumasi Municipal Assembly and Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI).
Events will have the participation of the Deputy Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Patricia Appiagey, Accra Mayor, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, Kumasi Mayor, Osei Assibey Antwi and the Ghanaian International Model, Victoria Michaels.
