The fourth edition of Green Ghana Day was marked in Burma Camp on Friday 7 June 2024 under the theme, "Growing for a Greener Tomorrow”. The initiative, which began in 2021 has become a national movement, rallying citizens from all walks of life to contribute to the afforestation/reforestation efforts to combat climate change. 

With the target of planting millions of tree seedlings, the initiative not only aims to beautify Ghana's landscapes but also to enhance biodiversity, mitigate carbon emissions, and create a healthier ecosystem for all.

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo delivered his speech urging all citizens to join hands in supporting the ambitious tree-planting campaign. He stated that climate change remains a great threat to the natural and essential resources for socio-economic development and therefore urged all and sundry to support the project.

Minister for Defence, Hon Dominic Nitiwul also in attendance, highlighted the importance of collective action in protecting Ghana's natural resources, emphasising the need for cooperation across all sectors to address environmental challenges and promote ecological balance.

This was further elaborated by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon Samuel Abu Jinapor who underscored the significance of sustainable land use practices and responsible resource management in achieving long-term environmental goals. He called upon Ghanaians to take ownership of their natural heritage and actively participate in conservation efforts, including the Green Ghana Day initiative.

The Chief Executive of the Forestry Commission, Mr John Allotey also used the opportunity to appreciate and thank all who made the Green Ghana Initiative a success.

Other dignitaries present at the event were the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Hon Daniel Nii-Kwartei Titus Glove, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, Service Chiefs, Heads and Representatives of the various Security Services and Senior Military Officers among others.
