In Ghana, climate impacts directly on food production coupled with rapid urbanisation. Flooding is also a frequent threat. This results in significant impacts to communities in Accra. Accra also has many unique close-knit communities where the local people work together and use NbS from enhanced ecosystem services that can support communities to become climate-resilient.

in Accra some nature-based solution approaches are being used by municipal and district assemblies mostly in response to flood management and extreme heat.
