Tinubu, Edun Attend Plenary Session At Climate Change Summit In Dubai

Meanwhile, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the United Nations Climate Change Summit plenary session in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, on Friday.

With him at the summit were Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar.

President Tinubu is expected to deliver a national statement at the summit highlighting Nigeria’s stance on various thematic issues, including renewable energy and climate financing.

Mindful of the severe impact of climate change on Nigeria, such as desertification, flooding, erosion, drought, and national security risks arising from there, President Tinubu will maximize the opportunity afforded by the platform to advocate increased financial and technical support for developing nations, while reminding developed countries of their public pledge to provide $100 billion annually for support to localized initiatives to address climate change-related challenges.
