Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for collaborative action to address the many challenges of climate change across Africa.
The vice president who made the remark at the Second Africa Climate Forum in Abuja said the consequences of climate change are threats that has left nations across the continent grappling for balance and demands nothing less than a collective response.
He also acknowledged that the country has been at the mercy of unpredictable water bodies, perennial floods, disrupted livestock production, intermittent power generation, and food crises.
Shettima said any solution for Africa’s climate future must begin with protecting Africa’s ecosystems, promoting sustainable practices, and building climate-resilient communities.
He said the continent’s interventions today will not only secure a greener future through social innovation, but will also serve as a springboard into global leadership on climate action.
