Ghana’s urban centres are facing the twin pressures of rapid urbanisation and escalating climate risks. The project focuses on strengthening data-driven urban resilience by supporting inclusive, climate-smart planning, early warning systems, and resilient infrastructure to address rapid urbanisation and rising climate risks.
As a core technical partner, alongside PwC UK and Triple Line Consulting, we are leading the development and operationalisation of a multi-hazard climate risk assessment framework in pilot cities of Northern Ghana.
Developing an evidence-based framework to identify hazard-prone areas, climate vulnerabilities, and exposure of infrastructure and populations, enabling identification of high-risk zones and supporting strategies to avert and minimise potential Loss and Damage.
Developing an AI- and predictive analytics-powered city-level dashboard to visualise evolving risks and support proactive urban decision-making, fully integrated into the Ghana Urban Risk Observatory platform.
Producing user-friendly toolkits and delivering training to equip local institutions to conduct climate risk assessments and use the dashboard for planning and response.
