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 IGOABSORPTIONACCESSIBILITYADVERSE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEAFFORESTATIONAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESALLOCATIONALUMINUMAMBIENT TEMPERATURESANNUAL COSTSANNUAL PRECIPITATIONANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGEAPPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGEATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONSAVERAGE RAINFALLBASESBIOMASSBRIDGEBRIDGE EXPANSIONCAPITAL INVESTMENTCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARRIERSCATASTROPHIC IMPACTSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGYCLIMATE CHANGE DISCUSSIONCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE DATACLIMATE FORECASTSCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RESEARCHCLIMATE RESEARCH UNITCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE SCIENCECLIMATE SCIENTISTSCLIMATE SENSITIVECLIMATE STRESSCLIMATE SYSTEMCLIMATE SYSTEMSCLIMATE VARIABLESCLIMATE VARIATIONCLIMATE-CHANGECLIMATIC CHANGESCLIMATIC EFFECTSCOCO2COLORSCOST ESTIMATESCOST OF CLIMATE CHANGECOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGECRUCRUDE OILCULVERTSDAMAGESDEFORESTATIONDIESELDIESEL POWERDIRECT IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEDISCOUNT RATEDRAINAGEDROUGHTDYNAMIC COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUMECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTSECONOMIC IMPACTS OF CLIMATEECONOMIC IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEECONOMIC MODELSECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMIC THEORYECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEECOSYSTEMELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONEMISSIONEMISSION SCENARIOEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY MIXENERGY PRODUCTIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXOGENOUS SHOCKSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME HEATEXTREME VALUESEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL RESOURCESFLOODSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORESTFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFREIGHTFREIGHT TRAFFICFUELFUTURE CLIMATE CHANGEGAS PRODUCTIONGAS TURBINESGAS WELLSGCMGENERAL CIRCULATION MODELGHGGHGSGLOBAL HYDROLOGYGLOBAL TEMPERATUREGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHYDROLOGYIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF TEMPERATUREIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLICATIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGEINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEIPCCITCZLAND TRANSPORTLAND USEMARKET ECONOMYMAXIMUM TEMPERATURENATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL CLIMATENATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGENATIONAL INCOMEPASSENGERSPETPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION DENSITYPOWER PLANTSPOWER SUPPLYPRECIPITATIONPRESENT VALUERAILWAYRAILWAY SECTORRAILWAYSRAINRAINFALLRAINFALL LEVELSRAINFALL PATTERNSRAINFALL RUNOFFRAINWATERRAINY SEASONREGIONAL CLIMATERELATIVE PRICESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONSROADROAD DESIGNROAD DESIGN STANDARDSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SECTORROAD SHOULDERSROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROADSSAFETYSANITATIONSCIENTISTSEA LEVEL RISESOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGESTORM SURGESTORM SURGESSURFACE TEMPERATURESURFACE WATERSUSCEPTIBILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGETAXTEMPERATURETEMPERATURE CHANGETEMPERATURE CHANGESTEMPERATURE DATATEMPERATURE IMPACTSTEMPERATURE INCREASETEMPERATURE INCREASESTEMPERATURE VARIABILITYTOTAL COSTSTRAFFICTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTUNNELUNCERTAINTIESVEHICLEVEHICLE OPERATINGVEHICLE OPERATING COSTVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEWEATHER CHANGESWINDWorld Bank10.1596/13212
