Abstract
This thesis examines how power and agency materialise in climate change adaptation in Ghana, with a particular focus on rural farming communities. Drawing on an intersectional subjectivities lens grounded in feminist theory and feminist political ecology, the research traces pervasive hierarchies that are produced, embodied, and contested within formal decision-making structures and everyday lives. The subject-making processes at work determine who can access adaptive resources and planning, and who is excluded. The study advances critical scholarship at the interface of climate justice and transformation and offers practical steps for scholars, practitioners, and emboldened citizens to collectively envision emancipatory adaptation futures.
