Mahama 总统与绿色气候基金（Green Climate Fund）讨论增加对加纳的气候融资

加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 总统在首都阿克拉朱比利宫与绿色气候基金（GCF）高层会谈后，重申了加纳推进气候行动和绿色经济增长的承诺。

此次会议由绿色气候基金非洲区域主任 Catherine Candice Koffman 女士主持，汇集了包括气候变化与可持续发展国务部长 Seidu Issifu 阁下、总统顾问 Joyce Bawah Mogtari 阁下在内的政府要员。

双方重点探讨了深化加纳与绿色气候基金在气候融资领域的合作，并寻求扩大可持续发展项目资金规模的机遇。

会议核心议题之一是加纳争取扩大直接获取绿色气候基金资源的渠道。Mahama 总统重申政府决心为加纳基础设施投资基金（GIIF）争取国家认证资质，使其能够将气候资金导入大型基础设施和绿色发展项目。

"我们迫切希望提升国家机构有效动员和管理气候资金的能力，这不仅将加速我国的绿色转型，更能确保资金流向与加纳发展重点相匹配。"

Mahama 总统还请求绿色气候基金提供技术援助，帮助国家投资银行（NIB）做好未来认证资质申请的准备工作。

Mahama 总统还充分阐述了阿克拉作为绿色气候基金西非及更广泛地区区域办事处所在地的优势。他强调加纳政局稳定、地理位置优越，且在气候治理方面拥有良好记录，这些因素都使加纳成为区域枢纽的理想选择。

"我们相信加纳具备独特优势，能够为绿色气候基金的地区运营提供安全、高效且政治支持的环境。"

Mahama 总统补充说，设立该办事处将极大加强西非地区气候行动的协调与支持力度。

他进一步阐述了政府将气候因素纳入重点发展政策的承诺，介绍了 "大推进政策" 中的气候智能型规划——这项雄心勃勃的基础设施和工业化议程优先考虑可持续及低碳解决方案。

总统还寻求绿色气候基金对 "24 小时经济政策" 的支持，该政策旨在扩大绿色基础设施、改善可持续能源供应并提高各行业能效。

"我们的旗舰政策不仅关乎经济增长，更着眼于增强韧性、创造绿色就业机会，以及为子孙后代确保可持续性。"

作为回应，绿色气候基金领导层对深化与加纳的合作表示乐观。

Koffman 女士赞扬了 Mahama 总统在全球气候领域的领导力，并指出加纳近期的机构改革展现了坚定的政治意愿。

“设立负责气候变化与可持续发展的国务部长办公室，以及成立能源与绿色转型部，体现了加纳在治理上的果断决策和对气候韧性增长的承诺。”

她表示，这些举措使加纳成为非洲气候治理与绿色发展的典范。

Koffman 女士重申，基金已做好准备与加纳政府密切合作，调动资源和技术专长，支持总统的气候与发展愿景。

“加纳在气候行动上的领导力和战略方针令我们备受鼓舞。绿色气候基金致力于与加纳合作，推动具有变革性、可扩展性和影响力的项目。”

绿色气候基金依据《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）设立，是全球最大的专项气候融资机制。

它通过认证的国家、区域和国际实体，为发展中国家的减缓和适应项目提供资金，以促进低碳排放和气候韧性的发展路径。

强化绿色转型伙伴关系

会议以共同承诺加强合作并加快加纳的绿色转型而圆满结束。

在绿色气候基金的支持下，加纳将扩大可再生能源部署，增强气候适应型基础设施，并推动符合全球气候目标的产业转型。

气候变化与可持续发展部国务部长办公室技术总监 Cedric Dzelu 先生称此次合作 "清晰地展现了加纳通过战略伙伴关系落实政治承诺、撬动气候融资的坚定决心"。

当世界各国竞相实现《巴黎协定》目标之际，加纳以前瞻性政策和强有力领导力为基础的积极行动，为其他寻求经济发展与环境可持续性平衡的发展中国家提供了范本。

President Mahama Engages GCF on Boosting Climate Finance for Ghana

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to advancing climate action and green economic growth, following high-level talks with the leadership of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) at the Jubilee House in Accra. 

The meeting, led by GCF’s Director for the Africa Region, Catherine Candice Koffman, brought together key government officials, including the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability, Hon. Seidu Issifu, and Presidential Advisor Hon. Joyce Bawah Mogtari. 

The discussions centred on deepening Ghana–GCF collaboration in climate finance and exploring opportunities to scale up funding for sustainable development initiatives. 

One of the central points of discussion was Ghana’s ambition to broaden direct access to GCF resources.  

President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s determination to secure national accreditation for the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), which would enable it to channel climate finance into large-scale infrastructure and green development projects.  

“We are keen on building the capacity of our national institutions to mobilise and manage climate finance effectively.

“This will not only speed up our green transition but also ensure that resources are aligned with Ghana’s developmental priorities.”

He also requested GCF’s technical assistance to prepare the National Investment Bank (NIB) as a candidate for future accreditation. 

The President also made a strong case for Accra to host a GCF Regional Office serving West Africa and beyond.  

He underscored the country’s political stability, strategic location, and established track record in climate governance as compelling reasons to select Ghana as the regional hub. 

“We believe Ghana is uniquely positioned to provide a secure, efficient, and politically supportive environment for the GCF’s regional operations.”

President Mahama added that such an office would significantly enhance coordination and support for climate action across West Africa.

President Mahama further outlined his government’s commitment to integrating climate considerations into flagship development policies.

He presented the climate-smart dimensions of the Big Push Policy, an ambitious infrastructure and industrialisation agenda that prioritises sustainable and low-carbon solutions.  

He also sought GCF support for the 24-Hour Economy Policy, which aims to expand green infrastructure, improve sustainable energy access, and promote energy efficiency across sectors. 

“Our flagship policies are not just about economic growth—they are about building resilience, creating green jobs, and ensuring sustainability for future generations.”

GCF Signals Strong Willingness to Collaborate

In response, the GCF leadership expressed optimism about deepening engagement with Ghana.  

Ms. Koffman praised President Mahama’s leadership in the global climate arena, citing Ghana’s recent institutional reforms as evidence of strong political will. 

“The establishment of the Office of the Minister of State in Charge of Climate Change and Sustainability, along with the creation of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, shows decisive governance and a commitment to climate-resilient growth.”  

According to her, such actions have positioned Ghana as a model for climate governance and green development in Africa. 

Ms. Koffman affirmed the Fund’s readiness to work closely with the government in mobilising resources and technical expertise to support the President’s climate and development vision.  

“We are encouraged by Ghana’s leadership and strategic approach to climate action. The GCF is committed to partnering with Ghana to deliver transformative, scalable, and impactful projects.” 

Established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Green Climate Fund is the largest dedicated climate finance mechanism in the world.  

It provides funding to developing countries for both mitigation and adaptation projects, working through accredited national, regional, and international entities to promote low-emission, climate-resilient development pathways. 

Strengthened Partnership for the Green Transition 

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to intensify collaboration and accelerate Ghana’s green transition.  

With GCF support, Ghana is set to scale up its renewable energy deployment, enhance climate-resilient infrastructure, and drive industrial transformation in line with global climate goals. 

Cedric Dzelu, Technical Director at the Office of the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability, described the engagement as “a clear demonstration of Ghana’s seriousness in matching political commitment with strategic partnerships to unlock climate finance.” 

As the world races to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, Ghana’s proactive approach anchored in strong leadership and forward-looking policies offers a blueprint for other developing nations seeking to balance economic development with environmental sustainability.
