The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, has called on churches and faith-based organisations to become active partners in protecting the environment and transforming society.

Speaking at the launch of the Second Ecumenical Convention of the Christian Council of Ghana, themed “United in Christ, Transforming Society Through Creation Care,” the Minister stressed that caring for the environment is both a Christian responsibility and a national duty.

He reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to addressing Ghana’s sanitation challenges, including plans to evacuate the decades-old waste heap at Agbogbloshie. He reminded citizens that transformation begins with thousands of small, responsible actions—from refusing to litter to keeping our homes, streets and communities clean.

Hon. Ayariga urged churches to intensify environmental education, mobilise young people for climate action and partner with government and other stakeholders in sanitation, afforestation and sustainable waste management.
