The study was motivated by the understanding that the unsustainable use of natural resources and human consumption patterns have become a significant threat to the environment and are contributing to climate change. The purpose of the study was the effect of consumerism on climate change, with a focus on Ghana. A narrative review methodology was used to summarize the existing literature from Web of Science, EBSCO database and other sources. The findings showed that the global output of carbon dioxide has risen by 66.5% from 1990 to 2019, with Ghana's output increasing by 62% in the same period. Climate change poses threats of extinction, habitat loss, death, and disease to both humans and other vulnerable species. It is recommended to adopt sustainable lifestyles with conscious consumption, prioritize sustainable forest management, and utilize carbon sequestration and storage in the ocean. Individuals should also make energy-efficient choices in transportation.
