This year’s state of the World Population report has been launched in Accra with family planning, reproductive health care and gender relations as the tools that could influence the future course of climate change and how human adapts to natural disasters. This is because international climate change agreement and national policies are more likely to succeed in the long run if population dynamics and women’s well-being are taken into consideration. The report launched by Dr Edward Omane Boamah, Deputy Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, indicated that developing countries would bear the brunt of the burden for coping with and adapting to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, floods and drought.
