Our Oceans are the world's biggest ecosystem but they are heavily exploited and endangered. The world’s oceans also suffer from climate change, with the main issue being the rise in temperature. CO2 Pollution is also the main culprit behind Ocean Acidification which alters natural ecosystems as natural rhythms change and become unpredictable, destroying natural habitats and killing animals like corals that can not withstand constant temperatures above a certain degree.
With continuous demand for land, wood for charcoal and other furniture works, mineral extraction and agriculture, deforestation remains at its peak. The forests cover over 30% of the Earth’s land surface, according to the World Wildlife Fund(WWF). On the other hand, in the last 25 years, the world’s forests shrank by 1.3 million square kilometers which means that since 1990 the world has lost more forest area than the size of South Africa. This is even more devastating in the tropics where almost half of the forests are left.
Electric Vehicles(EVs) are key to cutting CO2 emissions and a growing fleet of EVs is crucial to achieving one of the key resolutions at the just concluded COP 27, namely, boosting "low-emissions energy". Take a closer look at some of the current EV solutions offered in Ghana, specifically designed with the Ghanaian context in mind.
