Mr Jinapor disclosed that it is on the back of the huge expectations, he took the proactive step of setting up a committee to ensure that the country’s representation and participation at COP28 is impactful and successful.

Furthermore, he indicated that, Ghana as co-chair of the COP28 alongside the United States of America, has an honor and a big challenge of delivering a successful conference and that the committee will have to execute to perfection its terms of reference so as to protect the country’s reputation and image.

“For very good reasons, Ghana has become a leading country when it comes issues of climate action. For COP28, expectations are very high and our ambitions are also high and I felt that very early on, I put together a team of competent and capable people which will be chaired by Hon. Benito Owusu-Bio.”

Moreover, the lands minister equally proffered some suggestions to the committee on some the events that they can draw up to ensure that Ghana is well-represented at the conference.

“The Second Lady has become an iconic figure when it comes to climate action, and I think that we should have a high-level event which will be dedicated to her where she can address audience at the event. I also think that you should have a panel discussion of high-level people. You can get John Kelly and other Ministers from forest countries to join me and the President.”

Also, Mr Jinapor emphasized the importance of highlighting the African story relative to climate change and climate action. He expressed concerns that the territory has remained uncharted, hence, the need for Ghana to explore it.

He pledged to provide the leadership necessary for Ghana to have a successful participation and stressed on the importance of COP28 for Ghana’s climate action plans.
