Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, , course: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, POLICY AND MANAGEMENT, language: English, abstract: Climate change and its consequences have more or less become an expected occurrence and an inevitable result of the world's physical, biotic and chemical processes. From global increase in temperatures, continuous increase in sea level, loss of arctic sea ice, and changes in type, distribution and coverage of vegetation, climate change has become one of the worrying occurrences in the world. The impacts of climate change on Blekusu are not different from other coastal communities as the community is also a coastal community. The study was concerned with assessing the impact of climate change on Blekusu, a coastal community in the Ketu-South municipality. The study revealed that destruction of infrastructure as a result of the rising sea volume is one impact of climate change that is worrying the people of Blekusu. The study also revealed that construction of a sea defense wall is one way by which the destruction caused by the rising sea volume can be prevented. In this regard, the study therefore recommended that the government of Ghana must ensure that existing institutions, agencies and functionaries in charge of educating the public with respect to climate change and its effects in the country are adequately equipped to be able to discharge their duties effectively.
