Pilot Project Report: -Ghana Future Visions-
A transdisciplinary pilot process of co-developing transformative future visions for Ghana’s ocean, coast and coastal communities
“This document reports on a pilot process for reimagining a future vision for Ghana’s ocean, coast and coastal communities. There is a global call to identify visions and pathways towards sustainable and equitable futures, emphasising the urgent need for relevant scenarios that can serve as simplified yet coherent depictions of potential futures. To help vision setting in this pilot process, three cross-cutting themes or threats in Ghana were identified: climate vulnerability, plastics pollution and resource overuse, in terms of overfishing. More threats exist but these three overlap within a social-ecological framing and speak to all of the Ocean Decade Challenges. The aim of this work was to co-develop transformative future scenarios along with pathways to impact for climate change, plastics pollution and resource overuse (specifically with regards to overfishing but also in terms of overharvesting of marine resources such as mangrove forests and sand) that support more inclusive and integrated marine and coastal governance approaches…”
