Environmentalists have encouraged Nigerians to embrace renewable energy in order to reduce the impact of global warming.
Meanwhile, Odubote called on corporate organisations and individuals to adopt the use of renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, urging individuals to practise sustainable lifestyles to adequately adapt to climate change effects.
“Corporate organisations can begin climate change adaptation by adjusting their business models to adapt to climate change and reduce imminent natural disasters. The use of renewable energy sources instead of burning gallons of diesel to run their offices and machinery is one major way of adaptation to climate change. It is time we start thinking of more ways we can adopt renewable energy as means of climate change adaptation.
“Our building models should also be designed and constructed to adapt to climate change effects. The construction materials and the use of solar energy is paramount. Our infrastructural development should be tailored in line with climate change adaptation in mind,” Odubote added.“We must also cultivate behavioural change toward climate change, it should not be perceived as a myth.
“If we can replenish our environment through adaptation, we can over time overcome the challenges of climate change.”All rights reserved.
