The Environmental Protection Bill, passed by the Ghanaian Parliament, is a major step in protecting the environment. The nation’s sustainable growth and urgent environmental challenges are the goals of this historic law.
After months of debate, the bill’s support from both major parties was overwhelmingly positive.
Ghana’s natural resources must be preserved, and lawmakers stressed the need to create a healthy environment for coming generations.
“Hon. members, the Environmental Protection Bill 2024 is now read for the third time and passed,” stated Andrew Asiamah, the second deputy speaker, during Thursday, January 2’s parliamentary session.
Stricter rules on waste management, deforestation, and industrial emissions are all part of the Environmental Protection Bill.
It also describes actions to support eco-friendly corporate and personal practices and renewable energy sources.
Ghana’s dedication to environmental stewardship enters a new phase with the approval of the Environmental Protection Bill.
The country is ready to make major progress in safeguarding its natural resources and advancing a sustainable future now that this legislation is in effect.
