Revisiting the Issue of CLIMATE CHANGE.

Climate change has always been a challenge requiring a constructive finance channelling. However, for rural communities in Nigeria and many parts of sub-sahara Africa nothing concrete has happened. The awareness is zero effective and it is as if the danger has passed, if anything, climate change is rather building up where appropriate measures are not taken.

Even still the population in the urban settlements hardly ever make any reference to climate change and global warming, this has become a constant worry. If this is the case, imagine how ineffective the awareness in the rural areas is.

In a world where we (young people) dominate, we must play our part in the campaign for a green world regardless of which part of Africa we come from. We must pay attention and stop taking climate change as a joke.

Groups and individuals alike must be involved in the campaign for a safe, clean world. Our governments should create a platform that will allow them time to ease into educating the Nigerian society about this impending danger that climate change posses and by so doing encourage every member of the society to do same.

The #SDGsACT has moved forward with the campaign for a sustainable world. We have to be relentless on our approach and method for tackling the changes of Climate Change.

Recently, Senator Aminu Lookman, @ AU Agenda 2063 Localization Side-Event, had this to say in relation to the weather.

"I know many of us have turned deaf ears to climate change and global warming issues in the past year, however we are all a living testimony to the abnormal temperatures (heat wave) in recent times. And there is no reason denying the fact that the weather as changed and it seems something is wrong and we all need to know our roles in mitigating the effect of the hash weather."

Climate change is taking its toll on us, and all we are seeing today is a tip of the icebergs if we refuse to wake up to our responsibilities.

The change in the weather is due to two major action of our; firstly is our combustion habits, and secondly our sanitation habits.
