Summary:

Climate change and variability is already affecting Ghana’s water resources, and often attributed to global warming caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions for several decades. Whilst there is no concrete evidence of climate change occurring in Ghana (some climate variability through changing regimes of climatic factors are evident), the country is certainly experiencing the impacts and outcomes of climate change through global warming effects. Water Resource Commission’s bottom-up approach to integrated water resource management (IWRM) formed the bottom-line for identifying with relevant and appropriate stakeholders on climate change adaptation. This is because we cannot adapt for people but can support and improve adaptation as this project recognises that one’s adaptation could become the other’s vulnerability hence the all inclusive approach to manage the climate change adaptation project.
