Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority has renewed calls for a nationwide ban on Styrofoam, citing the material as a major contributor to plastic pollution and flooding in Accra and other urban centres. The EPA Chief Executive Officer says three principal factors account for recurring floods: heavy rainfall, obstruction of natural drainage systems through unregulated waterway development, and indiscriminate disposal of plastics and Styrofoam.
Speakers at Ghana's Environmental Sustainability Summit 2026 warned that illegal mining and environmental degradation could undermine the country's green finance agenda and carbon market frameworks. Experts argued that businesses must prioritize environmental sustainability as core business strategy rather than charity, citing Ghana's estimated two percent annual deforestation rate.
Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority has cautioned that pollution, plastic waste and wetland destruction are damaging the country's marine environment, marking World Ocean Day in the Western Region where the Amanzule Wetland is being pursued for Ramsar site designation to safeguard coastal ecosystems.
Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority has issued a public notice requiring all individuals and organisations engaged in reclamation and restoration works to obtain an environmental permit under new 2025 regulations. The requirement covers mine reclamation, restoration of degraded lands, dredging, and rehabilitation of water bodies, with non-compliance subject to sanctions.
Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority has partnered with Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to map PM2.5 pollution levels across the entire country from 2005 onward, addressing a long-standing data gap. Air pollution kills approximately 32,000 Ghanaians annually and costs the country an estimated 2.5 billion US dollars annually, about 4.5 per cent of GDP.
The Air Quality Sensor Evaluation and Training Facility for West Africa at the University of Ghana held a four-day workshop from May 18 to May 21, 2026, bringing together researchers, students, policymakers and media practitioners to address the challenge of measuring air pollution across West Africa, where many institutions lack expertise to deploy sensors and interpret air quality data.
The Environmental Protection Authority CEO Prof. Nana Ama Browne Klutse says the agency has opened 50 new district and area offices nationwide and recruited 2,300 staff over the last 15 months to strengthen environmental compliance enforcement and expand local presence across Ghana.
