Given a little background of Climate Change, Atiku Media Office said, “Climate change is redrawing our coastlines, altering where we can grow food, changing where we can find water, exposing us to fiercer storms and more severe droughts. It also forces large numbers of people to move from their homelands. Combined with demands of a growing population and adverse effects of our own activities, communities in Nigeria face an imminent environmental crisis that will have significant socio-economic and political impact.

“Climate change and action to fight it guides the European Union’s internal policy and cooperation with its partners across the world, including in Nigeria. The European Union is committed to reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 and by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990. This is to ensure that global temperatures do not rise by more than 2 degrees centigrade – above which catastrophic consequences are predicted for our planet”.
