“Our work is far from over. We must deepen our efforts to reduce harmful activities such as deforestation, illegal mining, and unsustainable farming. Together, we can build a climate-resilient Ghana.”
With community-centered interventions, Green for Change Ghana continues to integrate climate-smart agriculture, clean cooking technologies, and reforestation projects—bringing environmental and economic benefits to local communities.
“Every tree planted, every livelihood supported, and every partnership built brings us closer to a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come,” Mr. Sumbo concluded.
This award cements Green for Change Ghana’s role as a leading voice in grassroots climate action, proving that local solutions, when backed by strong partnerships and community ownership, can drive meaningful national and global impact.
