Abstract
This paper examines the intricate dynamics between environmental justice and flooding in Accra. Emphasizing the intersectionality of social, environmental, and economic factors, the discussion explores the disproportionate effects of flooding on marginalized communities in the city. Delving into the multifaceted dimensions of flooding, including social, political, and institutional aspects, the study deepens our comprehension of the interlinkages between environmental vulnerability and social inequality. The goal is to shed light on potential pathways for fostering environmental justice within flood management strategies. Ultimately, this analysis seeks to inform the development of more equitable and sustainable policies and practices for flood resilience.
