Empowering Climate Action: Industry-Focused GHG Training Rolls Out in Accra, Ghana

Ghana
17.06.2025
Ghana’s industrial sector is stepping up its climate ambition. Through a strengthened Carbon Accounting and Decarbonisation Training led by AGI-ESC in collaboration with Swisscontact Ghana, professionals are being equipped with the tools to measure, manage, and reduce emissions—while staying ahead of evolving global regulations. Here’s how your organisation can get involved.

Strengthening Ghana’s Industrial Climate Response

As climate action becomes a global imperative, Ghana is taking bold steps to ensure its industries are not left behind. A key intervention leading this charge is the Decarbonization and Carbon Accounting Training, a strategic initiative designed to strengthen the industrial sector’s ability to measure, track, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Spearheaded by the AGI Energy Service Centre (AGI-ESC) in collaboration with Swisscontact Ghana, the training reflects a growing urgency to equip local industries and consultants with the technical skills needed to meet both domestic and international climate standards.

An Enhanced and Practical Learning Experience

AGI-ESC, which already runs four carbon accounting courses annually, is now enhancing its program to deliver a more comprehensive approach—one that combines emissions tracking with practical decarbonisation planning. The revamped training has been expanded from two to four days, offering a hands-on experience that blends technical knowledge with real-world applications. It’s designed to empower companies and consultants alike to take meaningful climate action while aligning with Ghana’s broader sustainability goals.
