A landslide near Ghana's Adaklu Mountains has left dozens homeless after a heavy downpour struck the Volta Region.
Residents of Adaklu-Helekpe and surrounding communities near the Adaklu Mountains in the Adaklu District of the Volta Region are living in fear after a landslide struck the area on Wednesday evening following a heavy downpour.
Ghana's Adaklu landslide exposes the urgent need for African-developed early warning systems that understand our unique geological and weather patterns, not Western-designed solutions that fail our terrain. As climate disasters intensify across the continent, from Lagos flooding to Freetown mudslides, it's time for African tech innovators to build hyperlocal disaster prediction tools that can save lives in our most vulnerable communities. The question isn't whether we can afford to invest in indigenous climate tech. It's whether we can afford not to.
