GRMA climate and disaster risk assessment landscape: Ghana

The Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment Landscape Series by the Global Risk Modelling Alliance (GRMA) aims to provide a summary of available climate and disaster risk analysis and information in the chosen country, covering global and local sources of data, risk models, and hazard maps, and examining individual major perils.  More information on the Global Shield against Climate Risks initiative and its in-country programme, including the full stocktake and gap analysis of the CDRFI landscape in Costa Rica, can be found on the respective country page here. 

This country brief may include supplemental information to the Global Shield Stocktake due to subsequent work undertaken in the GRMA programme. The review of Ghana was conducted as part of the GRMA programme in Ghana. In 2023, the Ministry of Finance of Ghana submitted a joint letter of interest in receiving support from the Global Shield against Climate Risks initiative and GRMA. The GRMA is providing EUR2.0 million in support for climate risk analytics and capability development based on priorities that were co-defined in partnership with MOF and Ghana’s GRMA Technical Working Group.
