In honour of Earth Day, Google has published data showcasing the top sustainability-related trends as well as Nigerians’ rising concern for environmental issues.

This was said in a statement released on Tuesday in Lagos by Mr. Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, the West Africa communications and public affairs manager.

According to Kola-Ogunlade, the data indicated that Nigerians had a high interest in learning about environmental words and ideas like global warming and climate change.

He said that by providing accessible information on environmental topics, Nigerians would be empowered to take action for a more sustainable future.

He added that Nigerians were increasingly searching for solutions to manage and mitigate the impacts of flooding.

According to him, with a vast coastline and numerous rivers, Nigeria is particularly vulnerable to flooding, which can wreak havoc on communities, agriculture, and infrastructure.

“Another trending topic in Nigeria is carbon neutrality, as awareness of climate change grows and its effects become more evident, Nigerians are seeking ways to minimise their carbon footprint and contribute to global climate action,” Kola-Ogunlade said.

He said that both individuals and businesses were showing heightened interest in reducing their emissions and promoting sustainable practices to combat climate change and protect their communities.
