Israel expresses readiness to help Nigeria fight climate change through technology

Israel’s ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, has reaffirmed his nation’s commitment to helping Nigeria develop useful technology to strengthen her battle against climate change.

Freeman, who is also Israel’s Permanent Representative to ECOWAS, disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja, against the backdrop of a global awareness campaign for “Earth Day,” which is observed every year on April 22.

In his lecture titled: “Save the Planet with Innovation; An opinion piece for Delegations for Earth Day”, the envoy lamented the failure of governments at all levels to mitigate the impact of climate change.

According to him, despite the increased danger of the need to protect the fragile and unique planet people lived on, it seems that humans are just making things worse.

In his words, “My country, Israel, is developing practical, applicable and relatively inexpensive technologies, to help save our planet.

“Due to our location in the desert with the scarcity of natural resources and water, Israel is a living laboratory for developing practical, earth-saving solutions that are also incredibly relevant for Nigeria.

“Just last month, we celebrated International Water Day; water management is critical if we are to cope with the increasing population, provide food and combat desertification.

“Israel recycles and reuses 94 per cent of its wastewater, primarily for agriculture, which when combined with drip technology increases crop output while utilising significantly fewer resources.

“The development of drought-resistant crops, use of brackish water in agriculture, development of crops with a higher yield, biological pesticides, use of satellites and precision agriculture, all of these Israeli technologies contribute to increasing food security and reducing damage to natural resources.”
