The Federal Government has raised the alarm over the bad effects of coronavirus pandemic on Climate Change Response but warned that if prompt measures were not taken, the consequences could be worse.
The government specifically said that although COVID-19 was bad, CCR could cause serious damages and spread over a much longer period with speed.
At the event organised by the European Union under its Global Climate Change Alliance Plus Programme, the EU Head of Section , Kathryn Thomsen, said that the EU was committed to assisting Nigeria in meeting its pledges through the Nigeria Climate Change Response Programme. “Climate change could cause as bad damages and losses as COVID-19 and could spread over a much longer period in an irresistible manner.
“The sustainability plan that the government has put in place also have to factor in issues of carbon emissions so that these projects will be resilient in the agricultural sector. He stated that the government was promoting solar as part of clean energy, ethanol instead of fuel to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas and had midwifed the green bond programme.
