Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ghana will continue with its Climate Talks series in 2026 – with the overall theme ``Building Climate-Security Resilience in Ghana´´. Climate Talks has been established as a brand of the German Climate Foreign Policy in 2024.

1. Project Aim

   The project aims to deepen awareness and understanding of climate-security risks in Ghana´s most climate vulnerable regions, thereby strengthening conflict prevention, community resilience and cooperations between local communities and security institutions.

2. Description

   The Climate Talks series is an interactive program where both speakers and audience contribute to the discussions. Each series is a structured 60-minute live talk show comprising of 2-3 speakers addressing a specific topic of interest. A moderator directs the discussions to get the desired results and ensures time management.

   The speakers for each event are well-known and popular voices which add value to the discussions to increase the interest of the audience and the citizenry at large.

   There will be six (6) productions in total for the 2026 series. The dialogue series is expected to be organized in Northern, Volta, Ashanti and Accra (locations may change during the project implementation).
