Abstract
This study intends to analyze climate change impact and readiness in the Sunyani Municipality, with an emphasis on land cover changes, climate mitigation activities, and disaster risk mapping. Land cover mapping using satellite photos from 1990 to 2020 shows a significant conversion of rural lands into agricultural and urban regions, with 62% of agricultural lands being repurposed for physical development. Climate change prevention initiatives by key organizations, such as NADMO and GNFS, are praiseworthy, but they confront problems such as limited resources. The Vulnerability Theory is used to identify the linked components that influence sensitivity to climate change impacts. Disaster risk mapping identifies flood-prone areas, putting 7,695 buildings and critical facilities at risk, underlining the importance of strong emergency response strategies. The report suggests improved spatial planning, regular reviews of development in flood-prone areas, and stakeholder collaboration to achieve full climate resilience. Finally, the findings emphasize the importance of proactive steps in moving Sunyani Municipality toward a more resilient and climate-ready future.
