Tinubu set to speak at Africa Climate Summit
President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to speak today, 5 September, at 11 a.m., during the third plenary session of the African Climate Summit, on the theme “Setting a vision: investment opportunities for growth green”.
However, it is unclear who will represent the President when he attends the G20 summit in India.
Today's session will begin with the presidential opening, which will be graced by dozens of African heads of state and government.
The security situation is tense as delegates, ministers and presidents arrive at the center.
Tinubu to speak alongside Kenyan President William Ruto; Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed; The President of Senegal, Macky Sall, and a representative of the youth of Togo, Bawoupati Batassa.
The session will be moderated by the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and Director-General for Sustainable Energy for All, Damilola Ogunbiyi.
The Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi, Kenya, witnessed a host of activities yesterday, including the ministerial opening attended by several ministers and delegates from around the world.
The event was the first African Climate Change Summit organized and chaired by Ruto.
To ensure Nigeria positions itself in the carbon market, the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet's global adviser and former vice-president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, says pollution must be stopped and gas flaring.
Osinbajo, who served as the moderator for the session on carbon markets at yesterday's summit, said Nigeria must quickly end gas flaring and effectively begin the transition to renewable energy.
He further said that Nigeria has started decommissioning diesel generators in major open markets.
In his response to our correspondent's question on the environmental impact of the continued burning of stolen oil tankers seized by the military despite the Climate Change Act and Nigeria's determined contribution at the national level , Osinbajo called for the urgent need to end gas flaring.
He said, “One way to do that is to make our carbon market work. If ordered, we can sell these credits. It's about doing what works. If we can activate our carbon market, we can monetize it. »
