Sekondi-Takoradi’s Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SEACAP)

Sekondi-Takoradi’s Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SEACAP) is a climate-resilient strategy developed through a participatory process involving local communities, grassroots organisations, academia, and government agencies. The plan aligns with global climate frameworks such as the Paris Agreement, addressing key challenges highlighted by a citywide survey, which revealed that 75% of residents are already feeling the impact of rising temperatures. Focusing on mitigation, adaptation, and energy access, the SEACAP sets bold goals for the city's future. By 2050, Sekondi-Takoradi aims to be a net-zero carbon city, with reduced emissions through electric mobility, improved public transport, and zero landfill waste. The city also plans to cut urban flooding by 30% and restore 50% of degraded wetlands by 2030 to combat coastal erosion. On energy, Sekondi-Takoradi targets 100% electricity access by 2050, with half sourced from solar power, and widespread adoption of clean cooking technologies.
