The Africa–China Centre for Policy and Advisory (ACCPA) is set to host the first-ever Ghana–China Climate Summit on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, in Accra.
The landmark summit will bring together senior government officials, diplomats, industry leaders, development partners, academics, and civil society representatives from Ghana and China.
A press release issued by Mr Paul Frimpong, Executive Director of ACCPA, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, stated.
“Discussions will focus on deepening bilateral cooperation in climate action, renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, green industrialization, and climate finance, in alignment with the commitments of the FOCAC 2024 Beijing Action Plan,” it added.
“Keynote addresses will be delivered by the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability of Ghana, Mr Seidu Issifu, and the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. TONG Defa.”
The event, it said, would also feature high-level panel discussions, including voices from academia, finance, the private sector, and youth organizations.
The Ghana–China Climate Summit 2025 forms part of the Sino–African Green Finance Alliance (SAGFA) programme of ACCPA, supported by the African Climate Foundation (ACF).
The programme is dedicated to fostering Africa–China partnerships in green finance and industrial development, to advance sustainable growth across the continent.
“This summit marks a historic milestone in Ghana–China relations,” said Paul Frimpong, Executive Director of ACCPA.
“By bringing together policymakers, experts, and business leaders, we aim to align climate finance with Ghana’s national priorities and ensure that cooperation with China directly supports our green development agenda. This is not just a dialogue — it is a platform for shaping practical partnerships that will impact future generations.”
The Ghana–China Climate Summit 2025 is expected to serve as a launchpad for deeper bilateral cooperation, with opportunities to explore frameworks for mobilizing climate finance, advancing renewable energy projects, and embedding sustainability across sectors.
