Days after attending the COP28 Climate Conference in the United Arab Emirates, President Bola Tinubu felt the need to let the world know about his government’s efforts to support the global fight against climate change.
In a bid to amplify his administration’s efforts in reducing emissions and achieving climate goals, the President published an opinion piece in CNN highlighting some of the steps he’s taking to address climate challenges.
In the piece, Tinubu said the socioeconomic challenges in West Africa and their link to climate change were at the forefront of his mind during his participation at the COP28 World Climate Action Summit in Dubai.
Tinubu cited the rapid loss of water resources, the escalating rate of desertification and the deadly flooding that kills hundreds of people and displaced communities as part of the adverse effects of climate change in the West Africa region.
