Ghana opens National Pavilion to promote green transition, drive investments at COP31

Ghana has officially launched its National Pavilion at the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, as part of efforts to strengthen the country's visibility, engagement and leadership in global climate action.

The pavilion was officially launched by the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability, Seidu Issifu, as part of Ghana's broader efforts to showcase its climate priorities, national initiatives and innovative solutions while deepening international cooperation towards a sustainable and climate-resilient future.

Operating under the theme “People, Places, Solutions,” the Ghana Pavilion will serve as a strategic platform for showcasing the country's climate initiatives, facilitating high-level policy discussions, strengthening partnerships and attracting investment to support Ghana's green transition.

It will also provide opportunities for government institutions, development partners, private-sector actors, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share experiences and explore practical solutions to the challenges posed by climate change.

The launch reflects the government's commitment, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, to advancing climate-resilient development, promoting sustainable investments and positioning climate action as a key driver of economic transformation and national development.

Through its participation in COP31, Ghana is seeking to strengthen international collaboration, mobilise climate finance, promote technology transfer and advance partnerships that translate global climate commitments into tangible benefits for its people and communities.

The Ghana Pavilion is expected to serve as an important hub for engagement throughout the conference, reinforcing the country's determination to remain an active voice in international climate negotiations and a strong advocate for climate justice, resilience and sustainable development.

The launch represents more than the opening of a national exhibition space; it underscores Ghana's commitment to ensuring that its climate priorities, national experiences and proposed solutions remain visible and contribute to shaping the global climate agenda.
