The next section puts the study into context by briefly discussing the global EACC study and the EACC methodology, which was applied in this study at a more disaggregated level. The section highlights the differential impacts of climate change among different regions of the world, including Africa. Chapter three presents an overview of the methodology used, including the key assumptions. An effort has been made to present this information in nontechnical language where possible. The more technical aspects of the study can be found in the annexes. The sector results are contained in chapter four. The chapter begins with an overview of the Ghanaian economy, followed by the climate projections for Ghana and the overall economic impacts. Next, the results for each sector are presented in three parts: climate change impacts, the adaptation options, and the adaptation costs. The final chapter concludes with a summary and policy implications.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEAFFORESTATIONAGRICULTURAL CROPSAGRICULTURAL EXPORTSAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICESAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUESAGRICULTURAL MARKETINGAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONAGROFORESTRYAGRONOMIC PRACTICESAIRAIR CONDITIONINGALTERNATIVE FUELSAMBIENT TEMPERATUREAMBIENT TEMPERATURESANIMAL SPECIESANIMALSAPPROACHAQUACULTUREATMOSPHEREAVAILABILITYBALANCEBASESBEEFBEEF CATTLEBIO-OILBIOMASSBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS PROGRAMBIOMASS RESOURCESBRIDGECALCULATIONCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCASH CROPSCHEMICAL FERTILIZERSCHEMICAL PROCESSESCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGIESCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE EFFECTSCLIMATE FORECASTINGCLIMATE MONITORINGCOCO2COASTAL ZONESCOLORSCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCROPCROP LOSSESCROP PRODUCTIONCROP TYPECROP TYPESCROP VARIETIESCROP YIELDSCROPSCULVERTSDAILY TEMPERATUREDAIRY CATTLEDECIDUOUS FORESTDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION PRESSURESDEGRADED FORESTDEMAND MANAGEMENTDESALINATIONDESERTIFICATIONDISEASE OUTBREAKSDISEASE VECTORSDISEASESDRAINAGEDRIVERSDROUGHTDUSTECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEEFFECTS OF LAND USEEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONELECTRIFICATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY GENERATIONENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY OUTPUTENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SUPPLYENERGY TRANSMISSIONEROSION CONTROLEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONFAOFARMERSFARMINGFARMSFEEDFEEDSTOCKFERTILIZATIONFERTILIZERSFISHFISHERIESFIXED COSTSFLOODSFOOD CROPSFOOD SECURITYFORESTFOREST LANDSFOREST REGENERATIONFOREST RESOURCESFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELSFUEL PRODUCTIONGCMGENERATION CAPACITYGLOBAL WARMINGGOATSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHCHEATHIGH ENERGYHIGHWAYHYDROELECTRIC ENERGYHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER GENERATIONINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURESIPCCIRRADIATIONIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLAND DEGRADATIONLAND USELIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLIVE ANIMALLIVE ANIMALSLIVESTOCKMANGROVEMOISTURE CONTENTNEGATIVE IMPACTNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSORGANIC MATTERORGANIC MULCHOXYGENPEST CONTROLPETPETROLEUMPIERSPIPELINEPLANT PRODUCTIONPOULTRYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOWER PRODUCTIONPRECIPITATIONPRECIPITATION AMOUNTPRIORITY SETTINGPROMOTING ENERGY EFFICIENCYRAINRAINFALLREDUCTION IN EMISSIONSRELATIVE HUMIDITYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAMRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESRESETTLEMENTRETROFITTINGROADROAD DESIGNROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD TRAFFICROOT CROPSROOTSRURAL ROADSSAFETYSALINIZATIONSANDSHEEPSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOIL MOISTURESOIL PROFILESOIL PROFILESSOIL SURFACESOIL TYPESOILSSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR RADIATIONSOLAR SYSTEMSSUNSHINETAXTAX INCENTIVESTEMPERATURETHERMAL EXPANSIONTHERMAL PLANTSTHERMAL POWERTRANSMISSION LINESTRANSMISSION LOSSESTRANSMISSION SYSTEMTRANSPORTTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL TIMETREESTROPICAL STORMSTROPICSTRUETUNNELTURBINETURBINE EFFICIENCYTURBINESUNDERGROUNDUNITED NATIONSUTILIZATION TECHNOLOGIESVEGETABLESWATER RESOURCESWATERSHEDWEATHER CHANGESWINDWIND ENERGYWOOD FUELWOOD FUELSWOODY BIOMASSYIELD REDUCTIONWorld Bank10.1596/13213
