Is the Ghana environmental policy first of its kind or a review an existing one?

Ghana's first environmental policy was introduced in 2016, replacing an earlier national policy that had been in place since 1994. The new policy seeks to promote sustainable development, protect the environment, and ensure the equitable distribution of natural resources. It is guided by the principles of participation, transparency, accountability, and gender equality. The policy also emphasizes the importance of integrating environmental considerations into decision-making processes at all levels of government and society.
