Speaking during the event with the theme: “Make the Sahel Greater and Greener for Nature and People, Aminu-Kano said that if nothing is done, climate change, especially desertification, will drive humanity into annihilation, unexpected devastation and pandemics.

He noted that countries around the world, particularly in Africa were already experiencing the harsh impact of climate change which has destroyed lives and livelihoods.

On his part, the Director-General of the GGW National Agency in Chad, Ahamat Mahamat Haggar, said that the Great Green Wall offers a development opportunity for communities to integrate socio-economic and ecological conditions in a context of climate change and insecurity.
