Evaluating Ghana’s CO₂ Compensation Project: Is it Meeting Expectations?

A project in Ghana aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions through efficient cooking stoves faces scrutiny over its effectiveness. While the Swiss government plans to account for substantial emissions reductions from this initiative, critics, including Alliance Sud, argue that the projected savings are overstated. Current estimates suggest only 1.3 million tons of CO₂ may be reduced, significantly less than the initial claims. Transparency issues and actual usage of the stoves remain areas of concern, raising questions about the project’s long-term impact on climate goals.
