The Africa–China Centre for Policy and Advisory (ACCPA) has announced that Ghana will host the first-ever Ghana–China Climate Summit on Tuesday, 16th September 2025, at the AfCFTA Auditorium in Accra, beginning at 9:00 AM GMT.
The landmark summit will convene senior government officials, diplomats, industry leaders, development partners, academics, and civil society representatives from Ghana and China. 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.
Keynote addresses will be delivered by the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability of Ghana, Hon. Seidu Issifu, and the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. TONG Defa. The event will 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) program of ACCPA, supported by the African Climate Foundation (ACF). The program is dedicated to fostering Africa–China partnerships in green finance and industrial development, with the goal of advancing 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 generations to come.”
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.
Participation in the summit is strictly by invitation, with limited seats available. Interested individuals and organizations are encouraged to register their interest via the ACCPA website.
