The study "Revisiting the agro-climatic zones of Ghana: A re-classification in conformity with climate change and variability" published in PLOS Climate, re-evaluates Ghana's agro-climatic zones considering recent climate change and variability. Since the original classification in the 1960s, significant shifts in rainfall and temperature have necessitated an updated zoning. The research identified five distinct climate zones, reflecting current climate conditions. This reclassification offers valuable insights for agriculture, health sector planning, and disaster management, emphasizing the impact of climate change on food production and disease patterns
