The day's forum was also to break down key decisions taken during the COP29 such as climate finance commitments, adaptation strategies, and how those decisions impacted local climate resilience efforts.
It was organised by YEFL-Ghana as part of the implementation of the Empowerment for Life (E4L) Programme, and in partnership with Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) amongst other Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

Participants included experts in climate change issues, representatives of CSOs, academic institutions and young people drawn from the northern part of the country.

Nana Dr Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, the Director, Climate Change Adaptation and Vulnerability, Environmental Protection Authority, made a presentation on key decisions reached at the COP29, to shape the participants' discussions at the debriefing forum.

The young people at the forum proposed various action plans including promoting the use of energy efficient coal pots for cooking, to reduce the release of carbon into the atmosphere, encouraging farmers to integrate tree planting in their farms, using organic waste to produce biogas for cooking, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels to tackle climate change.

Dr Prince Ansah, the Country Manager/Engagement Lead at CDKN, spoke on the need for strategic partnership in decentralising conversations on COP29 especially amongst young people and to solicit stakeholders' support on climate change adaptation.

Miss Fathiaya Zakari, the Advocacy and Engagement Officer at YEFL-Ghana encouraged the young people to implement their ideas to contribute to tackling climate change in their communities.
