UAE Injects US$ 30 Million Into Ghana to Support Biodiversity and Climate Goals

In one fell swoop, the United Arab Emirates has tried to address dual challenges related to climate change and community development by announcing a $30 million partnership with the Republic of Ghana. The strategic investment will go toward supporting nature-based solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation, with the promotion of biodiversity and sustainable community development in Ghana.

This agreement between Her Excellency Dr. Amna Abdullah Al Dahhak Al Saud, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment, and His Excellency Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources of Ghana, dated September 29, 2024, becomes the latest expression of a sequence of collaborative efforts between the two countries on environmental conservation and climate action.

Nature-Based Climate Solutions

The $30 million UAE contribution coming from the Green Development Fund will be allotted for community-led projects in line with Ghana's priorities on Climate Resilience. This could be an investment opportunity in biodiversity, reforestation, and agroecology that would not only be significant for environmental sustainability but also for the livelihoods of people living in such communities.

While the Arabic statement did not designate specific initial zones for investment, the Letter of Intent signed by the two countries identifies priority activities offering multiple co-benefits. The collaboration should benefit the Ghana "Resilient Plan" through borrowings from the country's leading experience in reducing emissions associated with deforestation and forest degradation under the REDD+ mechanism.

Improved Bilateral Relationship

This is part of the wider environment for cooperation between the UAE and Ghana in response to environmental concerns. The investment will be channeled into aligning climate strategies with international commitments, including halting deforestation by 2030 and significantly improving protected biodiversity. In integrating nature-based climate solutions into their nations, both the UAE and Ghana set an example of how countries can actually come together and tackle some of the most dire environmental challenges besetting humankind today.

Her Excellency Dr. Amna Abdullah Al Dahhak added, "Our investment in Ghana will scale up efforts toward biodiversity conservation and reforestation, where climate and local people both benefit. We are making significant strides toward a more sustainable and resilient future, focusing on nature-based solutions.".

The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources for Ghana, Samuel Abu Jinabor, further underscored the significance of the partnership, saying, "Mobilization of financial resources is very key toward addressing deforestation and climate challenges. We are grateful to the UAE for its support, looking forward to utilizing this investment to achieve meaningful impact in the environmental conservation efforts of Ghana."

The Way Forward

The partnership between the UAE and Ghana can be expected to take further shape in the coming years with the approach of the COP29 climate summit, scheduled to be hosted by Azerbaijan in 2025, as both countries look for further joint projects. Discussions will start by identifying priority areas for investment in scaling up sustainable practices so as to serve as models for other nations.

It epitomizes the nature of global cooperation that leads to real action on climate change and supports the most vulnerable. In a world trying to keep its temperature rise below 1.5°C, this type of investment in protecting biodiversity, restoring forests, and enhancing livelihoods is crucial.

The $30 million invested by the UAE in Ghana's biodiversity and climate resilience initiatives would have ripples not only for the environment but most importantly for the communities depending on it. In their quest to work together to protect natural ecosystems and promote sustainable development, their efforts would be the torch that the global climate movement needs.

Puntland State Divided as SSC-Khatumo Seeks Separation

By
The High Court of Puntland State in Somalia recently issued a ruling that has reignited political tensions in the region. The Court upheld the decision of the Supreme Council of the SSC-Khatumo, a breakaway group within Puntland, to declare its independence from the state. This controversial move has cast uncertainty over the upcoming elections in Puntland, scheduled for January 8, 2024. Competing Claims to Sovereignty The SSC-Khatumo administration has long advocated for autonomy from Puntland, citing historical grievances and marginalization. The group claims to represent the interests of the Somali clans residing in the eastern portions of Puntland. The Puntland government, however, maintains that the SSC-Khatumo's claims are illegitimate and that the group's attempt to secede is unconstitutional. High Court Ruling Raises Concerns The High Court's decision to uphold the SSC-Khatumo's declaration of independence has created a complex legal and political situatio...

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

By
In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...
