In a congratulatory message to the Special Session to commemorate the
50th anniversary of the United Nations’ body on Thursday in Nairobi,
Kenya, President Buhari lauded the efforts of UNEP’s broader action to
overcome climate change, biodiversity, rising levels of pollution and
waste being three major crises threatening the planet.
He said, notably, desertification and drought are threatening lives and
livelihoods which further underscores the need to boost biodiversity in
ecosystem restoration.
He thanked UNEP for its role in reducing biodiversity loss and for being
a major player in the global movement to slow deforestation and
accelerate afforestation.
The Nigerian leader used the occasion to reiterate Nigeria’s commitment
towards addressing the devastating effects of climate change.
