The African Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) has called on stakeholders to encourage investors to adopt the call for carbon emission reduction and fossil fuel phase-out with a just energy transition.

The Executive Director of ANEEJ, Mr David Ugolor, made the call on Thursday, during a two-day workshop on Climate Crisis and Energy Transition in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

According to Ugolor, who was represented by Mr Nowinta Igbotako, a member of the ANEEJ Board, the workshop was organised to increase participants’ awareness of developing challenges in the trend of global climate change and energy transition.

He noted that stakeholders at the session included the media, civil society organizations, and community representatives.

In his words, “We are interested in advancing the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement by encouraging investors to adopt the call for carbon emission reduction, targeting 1.5 degrees centigrade and below.

“We are also interested in the fossil fuel phase-out with a just energy transition projection to protect the natural environment from pollution and over-exploitation.

“We want to build a movement around climate justice issues and support host communities to amplify their issues to the world.”

According to Ugolor, the non-governmental organization (NGO) was also interested in the topics surrounding the payment of loss and damages, which were heavily discussed during the COP27 meeting in Egypt.

He said the group is contacting oil company stakeholders to examine their strategy in order to be consistent with the Paris Agreement so that they can all work together to accomplish the intended outcome.
