    Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for collaborative action to address the many challenges of climate change across Africa.

    The vice president said the consequences of climate change are a threat that has left nations across the continent grappling for balance and one that demands nothing less than a collective response.

    “I reiterate today an open call across our dear continent to all governments, civil society organisations, the private sector, and the development community to join hands,” Shettima remarked at the Second Africa Climate Forum (ACF) on Monday in Abuja.

    He also acknowledged that the country has been at the mercy of unpredictable water bodies, perennial floods, disrupted livestock production, intermittent power generation, and food crises. “These climate-driven realities are not just calls to action; they are vivid reminders that none of us is immune to their consequences.

    ”This is why we must come together to compare notes, adopt peer learning mechanisms, and agree on practical solutions that will move us forward,” he stated.

    Shettima said any solution for Africa’s climate future must begin with protecting Africa’s ecosystems, promoting sustainable practices, and building climate-resilient communities.” The brunt of Africa’s climate change can only be mitigated if we stand together.”

     

    He said the continent’s interventions today will not only secure a greener future through social innovation, but will also serve as a springboard into global leadership on climate action.

    Climate and development experts have recommended a baseline of $ 400 billion annually to cater to the global loss and damage caused by severe weather incidents.

     

    In his welcome remarks, the DG of Africa Climate Forum, Professor George Nwangwu

    said the theme of this year’s conference, “Africa’s Climate Future: Pathways from Dependence to Leadership,” could not be more timely or relevant.

     

    The event focused on how Africa can build resilience, tap into its immense renewable energy potential, and forge new partnerships that prioritise sustainable development and climate action.

     

    “Localised action is crucial,” he stated. “For instance, coastal cities may focus on strategies to combat sea-level rise, while arid regions prioritise water conservation and drought resilience.”

     

    He said the growing interest in investment opportunities within Africa’s renewable energy sector would support the development of sustainable agricultural value chains.

     

    “Public-private partnerships can attract investment, accelerate project development, and foster innovation,” Professor Nwangwu said.
