President Bola Tinubu has formally launched the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour (REHCCAT), a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting climate resilience and sustainable development across Nigeria.
The President, represented by the Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, who launched REHCCAT at the State House, Abuja, called on governors, the private sector, and other stakeholders to spearhead Nigeria’s climate transition and transform awareness into concrete action.
According to him: “Today we launch a movement, the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, it is more than a program of events across our state, it is a national call to action, a call to innovation and opportunity.
“Climate change is no longer a distant focus. It is here. It affects our farmers in the north who are facing the encroachment of the drought. It affects our coastal communities in the south, which are confronted with erosion and flooding across the country.
“It affects our businesses, management of energy costs, and supply chain disruption, and it affects our young people whose future depends on the choices we make today.”
Tinubu stated that Nationally Determined Contributions are more than just documents, emphasising that they represent commitments to reduce emissions, enhance resilience, and safeguard communities.
