A non-governmental organisation, the Lift Humanity Foundation (LHF), has called on all relevant stakeholders to support and intervene in vulnerable communities affected by climate change and other environmental crises across the country.

The Executive Secretary of the LHF, Pius Oko, who made the call at a Post-COP 27 and Pre-COP 28 Consultative Workshop, on Thursday, in Abuja, said that collaboration among key stakeholders will put pressure on developed countries to fulfil their financial obligations and other forms of support.

According to him, such involvement would help address environmental crises for vulnerable populations, including women and youths and would also support the development of smart agriculture and other activities throughout the nation.

In his words, “we want all stakeholders to come together and ensure that the voices of the vulnerable, those that have been suffering from the impact of climate change are heard,”. “It is not a discussion for policymakers, it should be a decision that concerns people at the grassroots, so let us come together and make sure that voices are being heard through strong advocacy”.

Speaking further, he said “Yes, we strongly need more advocacy and sensitisation, especially to those climate deniers who have refused to understand the impact of climate change on our environment,”. “Climate change issues are too important to be left in the hands of deniers”.

Oko recalled that in 2022, floods claimed many lives, displaced millions of people and washed away hundreds of farmlands across the country. According to him, if the current trend is not reversed to increase climate resilience, the problems would only get worse in terms of frequency and severity.

He urged Nigerians to step up their efforts, particularly at the local level to ensure that the environmental issue was adequately addressed.
