| Summary: | The report is organized as follows. The
next section puts the study into context by briefly
discussing the global EACC study and the EACC methodology,
which was applied in this study at a more disaggregated
level. The section highlights the differential impacts of
climate change among different regions of the world,
including Africa. Chapter three presents an overview of the
methodology used, including the key assumptions. An effort
has been made to present this information in nontechnical
language where possible. The more technical aspects of the
study can be found in the annexes. The sector results are
contained in chapter four. The chapter begins with an
overview of the Ghanaian economy, followed by the climate
projections for Ghana and the overall economic impacts.
Next, the results for each sector are presented in three
parts: climate change impacts, the adaptation options, and
the adaptation costs. The final chapter concludes with a
summary and policy implications. |
