Did you know Ghana has a National Adaptation Plan (NAP), and do you know what’s in it?
A week ago, the Youth Climate Council Ghana, in partnership with the Youth Bridge Foundation, brought this question to the students of the University of Environment and Sustainable Development (UESD), Somanya, and the response was incredible.
Many Ghanaians, including university students, are unaware that Ghana has taken a bold step in structuring its climate adaptation priorities through the NAP: a comprehensive framework designed to guide the country’s response to climate change across critical sectors. Under the theme “From Policy to Action: Advancing Ghana’s National Adaptation Plan through University Youth Engagement,” we walked over 200 participants through the core priorities of the NAP, including: Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Agriculture and Food Security and Water Resources
A huge thank you to the management and staff of for their warm reception and support. To our brilliant facilitators, Yolanda from , Noah Bugre from , and our consultant on this project, Sarfoh, who led the NAP overview, and Maltiti from YCCG, your energy and expertise made the breakout sessions truly come alive. And to our 200+ students who showed up ready to engage, ask questions, and think deeply about local adaptation strategies, you are exactly why this work matters.
Youth at the university level are key to translating policy into real action on the ground. The conversation has started, now it’s time to act. We look forward to taking this engagement to more young people across the country.

Continuing our bilateral engagements, we had the privilege of meeting with , a valued partner whose work continues to align strongly with youth-led climate priorities.
Building on our earlier engagement with Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), this meeting further reinforced the power of intentional collaboration. The depth of insight, alignment across thematic climate areas, and the identification of clear synergies made the discussion both energizing and forward-looking.
We explored opportunities across key climate change priorities, shared institutional strategies, and identified practical areas for joint programming, advocacy, and youth empowerment. The convergence of ideas across our recent engagements signals a promising year ahead for strengthened partnerships and expanded impact.
In the coming weeks, we will roll out concrete opportunities that young people and partners can actively tap into.
We are sincerely grateful to UNIYA for the warm reception and constructive dialogue.

The Youth Climate Council has initiated a series of bilateral engagements to strategically strengthen youth-led climate action across Ghana.
Over the coming weeks, we will be engaging key government institutions and civil society organizations, both longstanding partners and prospective collaborators with a clear objective: to advance the Council’s mandate and expand climate-related opportunities to our youth constituents nationwide.
We commenced these engagements with , a partner with whom we have built meaningful collaboration. While their doors have consistently remained open to us, it was intentional to begin this journey with a long-standing strategic partner.
The discussions exceeded expectations: strategic, forward-looking, and solution-driven. We are excited about the innovative pathways for collaboration that will unfold this year. Together, we are set to bring meaningful and lasting impact.
We remain deeply appreciative of the warm reception and the spirit of partnership extended to us
