Of the forty-five per cent, fifteen per cent is unconditional mitigation target which Ghana is unilaterally seeking to achieve. An additional thirty per cent conditional emission reduction at the instance of international support. Twenty energy, transport, forestry and waste mitigation measures have been prioritised to achieve the overall forty-five per cent mitigation commitments. Two of the mitigation measures on low carbon electricity and forest plantation development are to contribute to achieve the fifteen per cent unconditional commitment.
