Nana Yaw Osei Darkwa, Founder of the Green Republic, in a speech, stated that Ghana has an environmental crisis due to how the nation discriminately destroys its forests.
According to him, Ghana has recklessly destroyed the very forests which provide security for absorbing the emissions which get stuck in the atmosphere leading to the abnormal levels of pollution we are currently experiencing.
Speaking at the event, Australia High Commissioner to Ghana Berenice Owen-Jones, who was Special Guest of Honor at the event, urged Ghanaians and the global community to come together and help turn around the situation in the country through sustainable-driven consciousness and behavior.
