President Bola Tinubu will, on Wednesday, depart Abuja for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to attend the COP28 Climate Summit.
COP28 is also known as the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28).
A statement issued by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale on Tuesday said at the World Leaders’ Summit, which takes place on December 1 and 2, 2023, under the theme, “Unite, Act, and Deliver,” President Tinubu would deliver a national statement, 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 therefrom, 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.
