Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments for Bekwai Municipal Assembly

The Government of Ghana prepared six district-level climate vulnerability assessments, each for a municipal assembly located in one of the country’s agroecological zones as part of the National Adaptation Planning (NAP) process. These vulnerability assessments aimed to improve the national and subnational governments’ understanding of climate hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks both now and in the future to generate a knowledge base to guide adaptation planning and the identification of priority adaptation actions. They were also to provide a baseline against which progress in adaptation could be monitored and evaluated.

This vulnerability assessment was prepared for the Bekwai Municipality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana and is representative of the Semi-Deciduous Forest agro-ecological zone.
