New EPA Boss Prof. Klutse to protect and sustain environment

Prof. Nana Ama Browne Klutse has officially assumed her role as the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) following a smooth handover from her predecessor.

Appointed by President John Mahama last week, Prof. Klutse now serves as the Acting Executive Director of the EPA. Before her appointment, she was the Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Ghana and the Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group.

In a tweet on January 22, Prof. Klutse expressed her dedication to serving the people of Ghana, emphasizing her commitment to protecting and sustaining the environment.

“Earlier today, I met with Mr. John Kingsley Krugu, the outgoing Executive Director, to ensure a seamless leadership transition. He briefed me on the current state of the EPA, particularly highlighting the agency’s recent elevation to an authority, which expands its mandate.”

“Looking ahead, I am fully committed to serving the people of Ghana and advancing the EPA’s mission to protect and sustain our environment. Let the work begin!” she stated.
