Participants at the second edition of the SDG Hangout have made bold climate commitments during the Impact Bowl Pledge Session and added their signatures to the Climate Action Signing Wall.
The wall was under the declaration: “I Commit to a Climate-Ready Ghana. I commit to tree planting”.
The event was organised by Tarragon Edge Limited, in partnership with the KNUST–Africa Institute of Sanitation and Waste Management (AISWAM).
The high-level engagement, which focused on SDG 13: Climate Action, brought together corporate leaders, climate experts, youth advocates, and traditional authorities to drive a unified call for a Climate-Ready Ghana.
In her keynote address, Natural Resources and Climate Change Specialist, Mrs Roselyn Adjei, shared powerful insights from Ghana’s participation at the just-ended Conference of the Parties (COP)30.
She also highlighted the urgent need for leadership, institutional preparedness, and climate foresight.
On her part, the Convenor of the SDG Hangout, Dr Genevieve Pearl Duncan, used the opportunity to call on Corporate leaders, traditional leaders, community leaders, political leaders, the youth, and all stakeholders to make intentional efforts to ensure the SDGs are lived daily in every small way.
She emphasised: “The SDG Hangout is a monthly action-driven clarion call to all to live the SDGs-together we can impact better she reiterated.”
