 Our History

 Impacts of climate change

 

The idea to establish an organization to help fight the impacts of climate change in Africa and empower people to build resilience against the phenomenon was conceived by the Executive Director of ACCI, Mr. Marcelinus Dery, when he was pursuing his doctorate degree in Climate Change and Education in the University of The Gambia. Having been exposed to the vagaries of climate change and the extent of vulnerability of Africa to the impacts of the phenomenon, Mr. Dery decided to put to practice what he was being taught by establishing an organization that would serve as a vehicle to help him bring relieve to Africans, many of whom lack the needed resilience to combat the phenomenon on their own. Hence after returning to his home country Ghana to gather data for his doctoral dissertation in August 2022, he duly registered African Climate Change Initiative with the Registrar General Department of Ghana and the initiative is focused on climate education, communication, empowerment and interventions across Africa with the headquarters in Ghana.
