The document discusses a community radio initiative in Ghana that aims to strengthen local engagement on climate change impacts and adaptation. The initiative partners local radio stations with research networks to build capacity for "action research" on climate change, allowing communities to share their knowledge and needs. Initial results show growing local understanding of climate impacts and issues. Lessons indicate the work requires long-term partnerships and addressing social justice, while complexity remains a challenge. The initiative seeks to better communicate climate knowledge both within and beyond communities through participatory radio.
