Ghana’s building and construction industry does not meet the sustainability nor the green demand, affecting economic output and long-term development prospects.
Studies have shown that an estimated 50-75% of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, and Yobe states are affected by rapidly rising desertification (Azare, 2020). The same study also highlights that Nigeria is losing over 350,000 hectares of arable land yearly because of climate change-induced desertification.
