Abu Dhabi, The United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Ghana have announced a US$30 million partnership focused on nature-based community development and climate solutions. Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak Al Shamsi, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment of the UAE, and Samuel A. Jinapor, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources of Ghana, signed a letter of intent outlining six key investment areas, including biodiversity corridors, reforestation, and agroecology. These initiatives aim to provide climate, biodiversity, and community development benefits, with a focus on gender equality and youth. The framework document is part of Ghana's Resilient Ghana nature-climate strategy and includes metrics for measurement, reporting, and verification, using Ghana's pioneering REDD+ process. The partnership is aligned with the UAE's commitment to the UAE Consensus, which aims to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030 and support global biodiversity and climate goals. The UAE and Ghana are members of the For est and Climate Leaders Partnership, a mechanism for coordinating public-private investment in climate and nature initiatives. Initial projects under the partnership will be detailed at COP29 in Baku in November and at COP30 next year. Source: Bahrain News Agency
