We will strengthen solid and liquid waste management systems to attract more private sector investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will take concrete steps to harness climate innovative ideas by including youths in decision-making processes as part of our over-all climate governance architecture. We will mobilize Nigerian youths towards planting 25 million trees to enhance Nigeria\u2019s carbon sink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the energy sector, Nigeria is presently diversifying its energy sources from dependence on gas-powered system to hydro, solar, wind, biomass and nuclear sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, Nigeria is progressively working to realize a 30 per cent energy efficiency and renewable energy mix by 2030. This is envisaged to lead to 179 million tons of carbon dioxide reduction per annum by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI share the sentiment expressed by the Secretary-General that the world is on the verge of climate catastrophe. Undeniably, Climate Change is a human-induced phenomenon,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is now imperative that we must step-up our collective climate actions in line with the request of the Secretary-General. It is in this regard that I wish to reiterate Nigeria\u2019s commitment to its obligation under the Paris Agreement, the aspirations enshrined in our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and ensure a resilient future that mainstreams climate risks in our decision making.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, our Administration intends to develop a shelter belt across 11 States of the Federation spanning a distance of 1,500 km and 15km across through the Great Green Wall initiative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0Buhari Is Nigeria\u2019s 15th President And I Have Been Destined To Be The 16th: Pastor Bakare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, the Federal Government has commenced the implementation of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Programme in Ogoniland, to recover the carbon sink potential of the mangrove ecosystem of the one thousand square kilometers (1,000 KM2) polluted site in the affected area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI should also inform the summit that our Government has introduced Climate Smart Agricultural Practices to unlock Seventy-Four (74) Million tons of carbon dioxide per annum, through relevant technologies, advocacy and best practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buhari at UNGA President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigerian youths will be mobilised by government to plant 25 million trees so as to enhance the country\u2019s carbon sink, and combat climate change.
