Climate Watch: NCF to provide practical solutions to protect environment, reduce plastic pollution | TheCable
According to a report by Nature Sustainability, Nigeria and India have increased exposure to extreme heat due to warming and are at the greatest future risk. The report said that high temperatures have been linked to increased mortality, decreased labour productivity, and other eventualities. The report added that the climate policy commitments of these countries will play a major role in determining global warming by the end of the century.
Similarly, the Nigerian Conservation Foundation said that it was willing to provide practical solutions to protect the environment, limit the volume of plastics going into landfills, as well as promote environmental education among young people. Oladapo Soneye, NCF communication manager, said activities such as recycling help to drastically reduce plastic pollution, adding that some schools in Lagos state would be adopted for the school recycling initiative.
Meanwhile, the International Centre for Environmental Health and Development , last week, trained 100 women farmers on climate-smart agricultural practices in Ikorodu, Lagos state. Mercy Joshua, the programme manager, said the aim of the training was to improve farm productivity, increase food quality and security, as well as equip the farmers to tackle the challenges of climate change.
