Since its inception in 2021, the Green Ghana Day has seen remarkable success, with a total of 42 million trees planted nationwide.

He emphasized the importance of citizen participation and urged all Ghanaians to join hands in making the 2024 Green Ghana Day a resounding success.
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) will host a commemorative tree-planting event as part of the Green Ghana Day activities. Minister Jinapor commended the GAF for its pivotal role in implementing various environmental policies and initiatives, highlighting their collaboration in areas such as illegal mining and land conservation.
Lieutenant General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, Chief Of Defence Staff, expressed his commitment to strengthening collaboration between the GAF and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources. He assured full support from the military in ensuring the success of the Green Ghana Project, including providing necessary logistics for the tree planting exercise.
