From May 2022 to May 2024, Ghana will host the next Presidency of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF).
The CVF is a worldwide collaboration of poor countries that are disproportionately affected by the effects of global warming and are working to address climate change in order to live and grow.
A delegation from the CVF Secretariat and Bangladesh's departing presidency is in Ghana as part of the preparations to guarantee a seamless leadership transfer.
The Ghana Presidency CVF Coordinator, Dr. Emmanuel Tachie-Obeng, told the Ghana News Agency that the delegation will make courtesy calls on important agencies and ministries while in the nation.
He remembered that during COP26, the CVF members resolved that Ghana would hold the next Presidency of the Organization. The CVF, according to Dr. Tachie-Obeng, is a South-South cooperation platform that allows nations that are most susceptible to climate change to work together to address this historic global problem in all geographical areas.
He claims that the organization represents 1.5 billion people throughout the world and is made up of 55 members from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Pacific.
In November 2009, the Maldives, together with ten other countries, established the CVF in Male'.
The CVF also provides specific collaboration platforms for its finance ministers and MPs.
The CVF Presidency allows Ghana to lead the international community and engage intimately with the issues and objectives of nations that are most susceptible to global warming and climate change.
