In mid-May, Professor Kwasi Appeaning Addo of the University of Ghana<\/a> shared findings from the DECCMA project during a student exchange workshop on the Volta delta organised by TU Delft<\/a> and Delta Alliance<\/a> in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Speaking on \u201cShoreline change in the Volta delta and implications for coastal communities<\/em>\u201d as part of a scientific seminar in the Faculty of Architecture (13-18 May 2018), TU Delft, Prof. Appeaning Addo, Co-PI for DECCMA Ghana, highlighted the key factors responsible for change in the Volta delta. He highlighted key findings of DECCMA research in the assessment of migration as an adaptation option in the delta under a changing climate to deliver policy support on sustainable gender-sensitive adaptation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He noted that findings from DECCMA project cut across issues regarding policy implementation, assessment of biophysical hazards, land cover change and migration and these requires the management of the Volta delta to be viewed as an integration of coupled biophysical and socio-economic systems.<\/p>\n

Participants at the seminar included Ghana government delegation of the Volta delta mission, the Dutch government, director of Delta Alliance and members of the Ghana –\u00a0Netherlands Students collaboration programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
