With a focus on the informal sector, the pilot program seeks to, among other things, engage stakeholders on inclusion and equity for climate action to promote inclusivity of process, policy and impact within the sector. According to a statement from the AMA, the Inclusive Climate Action (ICA) Programme, which was established at the behest of C40 cities and Climate Leadership Group, aims at delivering leadership and advocacy support, technical and strategic assistance, training and peer-to-peer exchange on assessing and understanding the wider benefits of climate action, increasing capacity to engage inhabitants and stakeholders; and designing inclusive and just climate strategies. Sowah said in the pursuit of driving a climate change mitigation agenda the Accra Metropolitan Assembly has developed a Climate Action Plan, which has five key priority areas; namely waste, transportation, energy in buildings, land use, and the mainstreaming of climate issues in all activities. C40 is a network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change. C40 supports cities in collaborating effectively, sharing knowledge, and driving meaningful, measurable, and sustainable action on climate change.
