During COP 21 in Paris, a meeting with the Ghanaian delegation and UNITAR expressed the need to integrate the findings of the Green Economy Learning Assessment (GELA) into the National Climate Change Learning Strategy (NCCLS). Again, during the 1st Global Green Economy Learning Forum, which was held immediately after the COP21, it was importantly discussed for Ghanaians to take advantage of the synergy between Climate Change Learning and Green Economy Learning now that the country is preparing a national learning strategy, looking at the sustainable development trend of global transformational agenda.
A follow-up meeting by the MESTI/EPA CC: Learn Technical Team with UNDP in January 2016 at EPA agreed on preparing a national learning strategy with elements of both climate change and green economy.
