The Great Green Wall initiative was launched in 2007 by the African Union to restore Africa’s degraded landscapes and transform millions of lives in the Sahel. More than USD 8 billion has been raised for the realization of the project. However, Nigeria’s climate has continued to see changes in its variability leading to more intense and untimely rainfall, land degradation, flash floods, landslides, and gully erosion.
Nigeria Vice President Kashim Shettima spoke Thursday at the inaugural Great Green Wall Day Celebration at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, on the theme “The Promise of a Green World.” He noted that the objective of the Great Green Wall Initiative cannot be abandoned and urged Nigerians and all environmental stakeholders to recognize the Great Green Wall Initiative as an Emergency Rescue Operation to save humanity from the effects of climate change and restore fertile lands. He emphasized the urgent need to address climate change and its effects on the environment, which varied from extreme temperatures, drying rivers, endangered wildlife, and thinning forests, to desert encroachment.
A year ago on June 16 in Abuja, cardinal resolutions were taken at the 8th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers of Member Countries in implementing the Great Green Wall Initiative. However, these resolutions are yet to be implemented.
Through reforestation efforts, terracing, agroforestry, biodiversity conservation, community engagement, and climate education, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can be reduced and climate change can be combatted in Nigeria. However, more than talk we need sustained implementation of these measures.
A RECENT SCIENTIFIC REPORT INDICATED AFFORESTATION HAD NO IMPACT ON THE HOAX CALLED CLIMATE CHANGE. THE CLIMAT HAD FOREVER CHANGED.
The climate merchants should be cut to size as most of the conjectures about the climate change fraud are being debunked in troves and Nigeria should not buy into it, BLINDLY.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS. THE GOOD SIDE OF CLIMATE HOAX.
At a time when the cows suddenly just became inimical to the existence of man because some evil commerce entrepreneurs want to make money from alter sources of energy.
The ecosystem was designed for a balance and served humanity before now with some strange thoughts creeping into existence and abusing our senses.
THE COW HAPPENS TO BE THE FIRST CASUALTY IN THE HANDS CALOUS BUSINESS Shylocks. https://mickykarim.wordpress.com/2023/06/12/sins-of-the-cow/
At least the female turtles just got off the hook of unwholesome climate change mess. Since it made them better mothers. This is interestingly incredible.
We may not know who and what is next.
This is hearth warming with soul lighting for the livelihood and existence of humanity.
