Navigating climate knowledge and anxiety in Ghana: Insights from urban and peri-urban Greater Accra
Climate change poses significant risks to human well-being, yet its psychological impacts, such as climate anxiety, remain underexplored in developing countries. This study examines whether households’ knowledge of Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (GH-NDCs) influences their climate anxiety levels. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 1,200 urban and peri-urban households and three focus g…
Towards Resilient and Inclusive Climate Compatible Development: A Participatory, Mixed-Method Scenarios Approach for Zambia
Presents a novel scenarios approach for planning resilient and inclusive climate compatible development. • Applies novel scenario approach to explore climate compatible development in Zambia. • Resilient development can be supported through economic and energy-system diversification. • Inclusive development can be supported through building knowledge, skills and internal capacities. • Multi-level governance and fair development partnerships with …
Gender vulnerability and coping strategies to changing provisioning ecosystem services in Bongo and Kassena-Nankana West districts in the Upper East Region of Ghana
Ecosystems provide a wide variety of life-sustaining services but are currently facing severe degradation due to changing land use and cover. Women are presumed to be more affected by declines in provisioning ecosystem services (PES). These claims have not been empirically proven across all contexts and have been contested by recent studies. Few studies in Ghana have attempted to examine this gendered environmental change phenomenon. Underpinned …
The governance of energy transitions in Africa: A sketch of plural perspectives
Building on the contributions to the article collection “The Governance of Sustainable Energy Transitions in the Global South “, this editorial offers a sketch for a research agenda on transitions research with a main focus on Africa. Still being ill-defined in its concrete contours, this research agenda engages with the central themes of heterogeneity, politics, and the material basis of energy transitions. In this editorial, we address both pro…
Energy Use and Enterprise Performance in Ghana: How Does Gender Matter
Introduction: Overcoming the Constraints to Clean Electricity in Africa
The phenomenon of inadequate power supply in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been a subject of great interest over the years because of its intractable nature and its importance for development; SSA accommodates about 55 per cent of the more than one billion people without access to electricity globally. Moreover, in many SSA countries, electricity access rates are decreasing because electrification efforts are slower than population growth. In rece…

The Political Economy of Renewable Energy Investment in Ghana
The high level of fossil fuel consumption globally is wreaking havoc on the global climate through the emissions of greenhouse gases. Against this backdrop, there have been calls from national and international stakeholders for a transition towards renewable energy (RE). However, the investment and adoption of renewable energy technologies especially, in developing countries have been woefully inadequate. Even though various policy and legislativ…
Exploring the Macroeconomic Impacts of Low-Carbon Energy Transitions: A Simulation Analysis for Kenya and Ghana
The study applies purpose-built dynamic computable general equilibrium models for Kenya and Ghana with a disaggregated country‐specific representation of the power sector, to simulate the prospective medium-run growth and distributional implications associated with a shift towards a higher share of renewables in the power mix, up to 2025. In both countries, the share of fossil fuel-based thermal electricity generation in the power mix will increa…
