Call to Pass Climate Bill Into Law
Youths under the auspices of Nigeria Youth Climate Action Network have called on that country’s National Assembly to pass into law the bill on climate change that has been stalled before the 2011 elections.
Interim coordinator of the group, Iregbu Unico Kalu, says it is very important for the bill to be passed into law because of the need for a recognised body by law to coordinate efforts at combating climate change.
Kalu maintains that, "Climate change poses great threat to the development of Nigeria, the coastal regions are at risk of flood, the eastern part of the country is already under the heavy threat of erosion while the northern region stands the risk of being overtaken by desertification and desert encroachment."
