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

By Abubakar Hussein

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.

The Cries of Syrian Mothers: Exposing the Injustice of Al-Julani’s Rule

By
  In the heart of Syria, a chilling and heart-wrenching scene unfolds. Mothers and sisters, their voices filled with pain and desperation, gather to protest against the unlawful detention of their children by the Al-Julani-led group, HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham). Their tears and cries echo a grim reality that exposes the oppressive nature of this so-called revolutionary regime. These families are not alone in their suffering. Under Al-Julani’s rule, arbitrary detentions have become a tool to silence dissent and instill fear. Young men and women are snatched from their homes, accused without evidence, and held in unknown locations. Many families are left in anguish, not knowing the fate of their loved ones. This is not governance; it is tyranny in its purest form. The Hypocrisy of HTS Governance Al-Julani’s administration claims to stand for law-based governance and justice, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. These protests reveal the group’s blatant disregard for...
