John Matrevi, the Procurement Officer at Frontline for Climate Action, participated in a crucial climate literacy training workshop organized by the West Africa Hub of the African Climate Reality Project. This workshop, held in Ghana, aimed to equip young leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and engage with Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
NDCs are a central component of the Paris Agreement, detailing each country’s commitments to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts. For Ghana, these contributions are vital in its pursuit of sustainable development and global climate leadership.
During the workshop, participants gained a deep understanding of Ghana's NDCs, learning about the importance of these commitments and the processes involved in their formulation and review. The training empowered young leaders to actively contribute to these processes, ensuring that their voices are integral to shaping national climate strategies.
John Matrevi’s participation highlights Frontline for Climate Action’s commitment to empowering youth to play a significant role in climate action. By taking part in this workshop, John and his organization are reinforcing their dedication to developing climate-conscious leaders who can advocate for and implement sustainable solutions within their communities and across the nation.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to amplify the involvement of young leaders in climate policy, particularly as Ghana continues to refine its strategies to meet global climate targets. The skills and knowledge acquired through this workshop will enable these young leaders to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s climate action and policy development, helping to ensure a just and sustainable future for all.
