Ghana presented three climate projects worth an estimated US$135 million to US$175 million to Chinese investors at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) 2026 in Beijing. Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability Seidu Issifu outlined the projects from Ghana's Climate Prosperity Plan Investment Compendium and called for technology transfer, affordable financing and digital MRV systems rather than simple imports of finished goods. The first project, the Green Mobility Initiative, needs US$30 million to US$50 million for e-bikes, electric three-wheelers, charging and battery swapping in Accra and the northern corridor, plus local assembly and Article 6 carbon credits. The second, the Forest Prosperity Programme and Climate-smart Shea Value Chain, needs about US$25 million plus a US$15 million carbon advance to restore 10,000 hectares, support 50,000 smallholder farmers and generate about 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent over 10 years. The third, the Akosombo Sustainable Textile Park, needs US$80 million to US$100 million for a net-zero industrial park powered by 50 MW of solar plus hydropower, with an anchor tenant already interested. Ghana is seeking Chinese partners for assembly, cold chain, solar manufacturing and wastewater recycling, and wants to move from general climate finance talks toward joint ventures, blended finance and direct project matching.
