Context

Access to climate knowledge remains a significant barrier to effective climate action in Ghana, particularly for women and marginalised groups. To address this, the project uses creative platforms such as traditional songs, TV series, podcasts, Virtual Reality, games, and community radio to amplify diverse voices and ensure climate information reaches vulnerable populations. This initiative enables inclusivity and accessibility and aligns with the CDKN Ghana programme’s mission to integrate gender and social inclusion into climate-resilient actions.

Project Objectives 

• Enhance climate literacy through creative and inclusive knowledge dissemination tools.
• Promote gender equity by amplifying women’s voices in climate narratives.
• Enhance community resilience through accessible and localised climate communication strategies.
• Increase public engagement with climate issues using innovative media and technology.
