The German Embassy in Ghana has launched the Climate Talks 2025 forum in Jamestown, Accra, to discuss ways to promote cleaner cooking practices in the country. The initiative aims to address the environmental and health impacts of Ghana’s heavy reliance on wood and charcoal for cooking, with over 75% of households using these fuels.
The forum highlighted Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs 3.0) goals, which include doubling the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to 50% by 2030 and providing 3 million homes with cleaner cookstoves. The Climate Talks platform seeks to amplify local initiatives, showcase homegrown innovation, and connect changemakers with resources and networks to scale their impact.
The German Embassy plans to continue the Climate Talks series nationwide, addressing various climate-related topics and fostering dialogue between communities, policymakers, and the private sector to support Ghana’s green transition.
