With Nigeria facing significant vulnerability to rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and environmental degradation, Grace Oluchi Mbah, Co-Founder and Executive Director at Climate Action Africa (CAA) has emphasized the need for a united front across all stakeholder groups.
Mbah made the call for a more impactful and inclusive approach to tackling the country’s pressing climate challenges at a climate change media briefing held today in Lagos. She revealed that developing countries like Nigeria, and many others across Africa, face unique sets of challenges when it comes to climate change.
“Nigeria’s unique position and vast resources necessitate a comprehensive strategy that leverages the expertise and commitment of every sector.”
“From government and industry leaders to scientists, community organizations, and individual citizens, we all have a role to play in building a more resilient and sustainable future,” Mbah said.
CAA, a leading Africa-focused social enterprise at the forefront of the continent’s climate action ecosystem, will be hosting Climate Action Africa Forum (CAAF24) scheduled for June 19-20 in Lagos.
At the CAAF24, Deal Room, a dynamic marketplace connecting Africa’s brightest innovators with forward-thinking investors to accelerate impactful deals for climate action and sustainable development will be introduced to industry players.
“CAAF24 provides a valuable platform for knowledge sharing, collaborative problem-solving, and forging strategic partnerships,” Mbah added.
