Ghana’s building and construction industry does not meet the sustainability nor the green demand, affecting economic output and long-term development prospects.
As different parts of countries become drier, wetter or hotter, green infrastructure can help improve community resilience through smart urban planning and intelligent urban transport systems. The CTCN has worked with countries such as Indonesia and Thailand to develop climate resilient infrastructure and foster green buildings for low-carbon societies. By adapting cities, transport systems and buildings to climate change impacts, countries can mitigate related costs and risks. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
