Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of climate change on Ghana monetary policy. To that end, World Development Indicators (WDI) and the Bank of Ghana (BoG) data are used within a New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (NK-DSGE) framework. The results show that rising temperatures increase inflation (0.081-0.083), and reduce output (0.569-5.583%). The BoG may respond by raising the interest rates (0.448- 0.459%) to curb inflation, but growth effects vary with climate shock intensity. Findings stress the need for climate change considerations in monetary policy to balance price stability, growth and for adaptation financing.
