Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study assesses the vulnerability of a small coastal community in Ghana to climate change, focusing on its impacts on fisheries and small-scale crop farming. Utilizing a framework that integrates historical climate data and local knowledge, the research examines flooding and drought indicators from 1970 to 2012. Findings indicate a significant decline in rainfall and humidity, coupled with a rise in air temperature, which has heightened the community’s susceptibility to climate-related events. The study concludes that community relocation to higher ground is essential for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.
