As part of the government’s commitment to combating deforestation and promoting sustainability, President Akufo-Addo announced that Ghana has successfully planted 42 million trees in the last three years.

Addressing attendees at the Green Ghana Day ceremony held at Burma Camp, the President attributed this environmental achievement to the steadfast support of the Ghanaian populace.

“In the last three years, with your unwavering support, we have planted some 42 million trees, most of which are thriving. Today, we have an opportunity to add at least 10 million trees,” President Akufo-Addo stated.

He expressed optimism that achieving this target would elevate the total number of trees planted to an impressive 52 million within just four years, a feat he hailed as remarkable and indicative of the collective dedication of Ghanaians and all stakeholders involved in the program’s success.

President Akufo-Addo commended the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Jinapor, for his leadership in spearheading the initiative and extended gratitude to all Ghanaians and contributors who have played a role in the program’s achievements thus far.

Expressing confidence in surpassing this year’s target with continued support and commitment, the President emphasized the importance of sustaining the momentum that has propelled the initiative forward.

The Green Ghana Day event is part of a nationwide endeavor aimed at restoring the country’s forest cover, mitigating climate change impacts, and enhancing the natural environment. Since its inception in 2021, the initiative has garnered widespread participation from diverse sectors, including schools, religious organizations, and community groups.
