COP29: Azerbaijan, UNFCCC sign Host Country Agreement

COP29 President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev and Simon Stiell, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), have signed the Host Country Agreement between Azerbaijan and the UNFCCC, marking the latest milestone in preparations for the successful delivery of COP29 in Azerbaijan in November 2024.

The agreement, it was gathered, highlights Azerbaijan’s commitment to delivering an accessible, inclusive and transparent conference that reflects the needs and priorities of all parties and during which all voices will be heard.

Azerbaijan’s commitment to hosting COP29 is a clear indication of the nation’s growing sensitivity to climate change issues, Sevinj Fataliyeva, a member of the COP29 Organising Committee said during a conference titled “Women’s Education in a Green World: From Yesterday to Today”.

Fataliyeva highlighted the direct impact of climate change on women’s work processes, stating, “Women play a leading role in managing natural resources. They are not lagging behind in green technologies and steps towards developing a green world.”

She reminded attendees that the 2015 Paris Agreement also raised the issue of increasing women’s activities in these areas.

Fataliyeva emphasised the increasing participation of women in climate change conferences and events worldwide.

“This number is also increasing in Azerbaijan,” she noted. “The gathering of professional women in the COP29 organising committee shows that our country is on the path of development in this field.”

Moiz Farooq, a writer on Foreign Policy and Economy, stated that, under the leadership of Azerbaijan, COP29 will be a force for good connecting North, South, East, and West and mobilizing the international community to make progress on halting global warming.

“Azerbaijan has made green growth one of the key priorities of development. The President of Azerbaijan declared the 2024 as ‘Year of Solidarity for a Green World’ to foster momentum on climate action at a national level and beyond,” Farooq wrote.

According to him, Azerbaijan is a regional leader in green energy transition, adding, in recent years, the country has been prioritising green projects all over the country.

“They are developing smart cities and villages in the liberated territories. Garabagh and East Zangezur Economic Zones, Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic will be net zero emission zones by 2050. By 2030, the share of renewables in the installed capacity of electricity generation in Azerbaijan will reach 30%,” he noted.

Vandalism: Onuigbo calls for protection of public infrastructure in communities

A former lawmaker, Chief Sam Onuigbo, has called on community leaders and other stakeholders to take the protection of public infrastructure in their communities as their core responsibility.

He made the appeal at the August Meeting of Obuohia Obi-Ibere Development Union, Women’s Wing, held at Obuohia Obi-Ibere in Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia, on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

Onuigbo, who is representing South-East on the Board of North-East Development Commission (NEDC), urged the people to join hands with the government to jealously guard public infrastructure in their domain against vandalism.

The former representative for  Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia, expressed concern that some projects he attracted to his community and others were being threatened by vandals.

Onuigbo, the Chairman, Committee on Security, Climate Change and Special Interventions in NEDC, appealed to the youths, who indulge in acts of vandalism, to desist from them.

His appeal was in response to the concern raised by the women’s National President, Mrs Chinyere Sam-Onuigbo, in her speech at the annual event.

She had raised the alarm over the incessant cases of vandalism in the community, citing the continued destruction and stealing of equipment from the public hospital and school in the area.

She said that August meeting is not a political rally, but an avenue by grassroots women to collectively plan and strategise for the growth of their community.

According to her, this year’s theme, “let us rise and build according to God’s pattern,” references the need for us to continue to be critical support systems for growth in our society.

Sam-Onuigbo charged the women to pattern their efforts at building a strong and virile society after the instructions of God.

She appealed for support from well-meaning indigenes to activate the agro processing plant located in the community which, according to her, is the largest in the South-East.

The event featured march past, fashion parade, drama, cultural dance, novelty football match as well as needle-and-thread race, amongst others highlights.

Flooding: Govt to support affected states with N3bn

The Federal Government says it will support states affected by flood with N3 billion to mitigate the effect of the menace.

Flooding in Makurdi, Benue State

Mr Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, disclosed this while interacting with journalists at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

The minister spoke shortly after inspecting some areas affected by flood in Kebbi.

Edun said: “I will announce here that the National Economic Council has been proactive and has taken action in order to support all the states of the federation and the FCT with N3 billion to mitigate the effect of flood this year.

“That will put many states like Kebbi in a good position to be able to prepare their farmers to the all-important dry season farming, which we anticipate will be successful, well planned and well implemented.”

This, he said, would lead to success, paving way for food availability at reasonable affordable prices, adding that it would lower inflation and help to further stabilise the economy.

He expressed President Bola Tinubu’s willingness to assist them to maintain its level of security, resilience and to improve and increase its productivity and become the food basket of Nigeria.

Also speaking, the Minister of Economic Planning, Sen. Atiku Bagudu, lamented that the flooding had affected many local governments beyond what he saw when he visited the areas recently.

He, however, commended the resilience and confidence of Kebbi people, assuring that they would be mobilised to do better during the dry season farming.

The minister said that, apart from the N3 billion, the federal government had approved a Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund that would be used for funding, among other things, the Badagry-Sokoto Road.

“Kebbi is going to host the longest stretch of that road. Equally, irrigation and dams are important feature of that renewed hope infrastructure fund.

“So, irrigation facilities are going to be expanded along the whole stretch of the 1,000-kilometre road and significant part of the irrigation support will be in Kebbi,” he said.

On his part, Gov. Nasir Idris, pleaded with the federal government to assist the state because many rice farmlands in the state had been submerged by the flood.

He said: “They have gone to Wacot Rice Mill in Argungu and they have seen things by themselves. They also visited Matan Fada in Argungu and they have seen how the flood affected rice farmlands.

“Kebbi is the leading rice farming state in the country, because it is an agrarian state.”

The governor appealed to the two ministers to discuss with the president on how to assist Kebbi, saying that the state had the capacity to feed the entire nation and beyond.

According to him, in an effort to boost national food security, the state government has distributed fertilisers, seedlings, solar pumps, and CNG pumping machines to over 35,000 farmers free-of-charge.

He, however, said the rainy season came with a lot of challenges, with flood destroying farmlands.

“Therefore, we want the federal government to come to our aid because rice season farming is approaching.

“Already, we have started mobilising our farmers that immediately after the wet season harvest, the government is always ready to assist them to go back for dry season farming,” he noted.

The entourage also visited Dukku Water Treatment Plant in Birnin Kebbi.

Suriname kicks off sale of UN carbon credits under Paris Agreement

Suriname has started trading UN carbon credits, called Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcome (ITMOs), as part of its climate pledge under the Paris Agreement. It has successfully completed all its Article 5.2, Article 6.2, and Article 13 requirements.

Marciano Dasai
Marciano Dasai, Suriname Minister of Spatial Planning and Environment

Developed country governments and corporations can buy their ITMOs and, in return, Suriname will keep investing to protect their forests and biodiversity.

The country is beginning by offering 2021 REDD+ results which are eligible for transacting internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) under the Paris Agreement. They are starting by selling 4,839,390 UNFCCC-verified REDD+ Results Units and hope to have 10 million for 2022 going forward.

“Over the past 20 years, the government of Suriname has shown clear evidence of tackling the drivers of deforestation and emissions. Today, Suriname’s national REDD+ programme is successfully working. Our challenge is developing economically and providing services to its people while remaining a net-carbon remover for centuries to come,” said Marciano Dasai, the Suriname Minister of Spatial Planning and Environment.

Suriname is regarded as the most forested country in the world – over 93% forest cover according to a recent forest inventory assessment. Its forests remove over 20 million tons of mostly other countries’ carbon emissions every year. For free! At the same time, its energy emissions are around 4 million tons per year.

In preparation for the launch of its ITMOs sale, the ministry held a presentation on July 30 for the members of the standing committee of ROM of the National Assembly. The green development strategy is currently being developed and formulated under the supervision of ROM. This should ultimately result in an initiative law that will be submitted to the National Assembly in October 2024.

Fair Distribution of Financial Benefits

The revenue from sales will be overseen by an inter-ministerial committee, managed by the finance ministry, and audited annually. A profit-sharing mechanism will be established to ensure that revenues from the sale of carbon credits are shared fairly between investors, developers, and local communities. There will be transparent and regular reporting on the progress and impact of emission reduction projects.

“The money earned will be spent helping Suriname develop sustainably for future generations, and that includes remaining a net remover of carbon every year while respecting the Sustainable Development Goals and forest dependent communities,” said Dasai.

Suriname will undertake all the carbon accounting and reporting of their net carbon balance biannually under their climate pledge to the UN and remain fully Paris Agreement compliant.

Dr Atinuke Owolabi, Chairperson, APWEN Lagos Chapter, said that the initiative was in alignment with the association’s support for the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu’s, “Own a Garden” Competition.

Owolabi said this while delivering an address at the APWEN Lagos Chapter 2024 Public Lecture, Award and Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Lagos.

The theme of the lecture was, “Empowering Nigerian Women Engineers and Communities to Promote Sustainable Agricultural Solutions and Food Security in Nigeria”.

She explained that the initiative was developed to promote essential skills for practical home gardening, focusing on empowering women engineers and local communities.

“APWEN Lagos Home Gardening Initiative aims to enhance food security, encourage self-sufficiency, and foster environmental sustainability through practical and accessible gardening practices.

“Through this initiative, we seek to build a network of well-informed and skilled individuals who can lead by example and drive positive change in their communities,” she said.

According to her, the home gardening initiative aims to equip individuals and communities with the knowledge and skills needed to establish and maintain home gardens, enhancing food security and promoting sustainable living.

Owolabi added that the programme would provide women engineers with hands-on experience and training in home gardening, integrating this knowledge with their professional skills to foster self-sufficiency and environmental stewardship.

The APWEN chairperson said that the association, through the initiative, would also engage grassroots communities by targeting primary and secondary schools.

She said that the young scholars would be introduced to the benefits of home gardening to create a culture of sustainability from an early age and ensure long-term community impact.

“This year has marked a significant milestone for our chapter. We have made substantial strides in advancing our mission to empower women in engineering and to support our communities.

“Our achievements stand as a testament to the dedication and hard work of each member,” she said.

In his remark, Chairman, Onigbongbo Local Government Area, Oladotun Olakanle, lauded APWEN Lagos for the initiative, noting that insecurity has impacted adversely on food production.

Olakunle urged Nigerian to embrace home gardening initiative in a quest to enhance food production and sustainability, noting that food security is key to food sufficiency.

Guest Speaker, Mufutau Oyelekan, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Farm Fresh Agricultural Venture, charged APWEN members and other agricultural engineers to develop and design agricultural tools for Nigerian farmers.

Oyelekan, also Chairman of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Lagos Chapter, expressed worry that the tools presently used in the country are produced from China.

He advised the female engineers to collaborate with fabricators to design the tools and also establish farms individually or as a group, as well as develop agricultural product processors to promote food sufficiency.

The keynote speaker, Prof. Akindele Alonge, Dean, Faculty of Engineering at the University of Uyo, urged the female engineers to confront challenges impeding food sufficiency across the country, while tapping into opportunities in farming.

Alonge is also Past National Chairman of Nigerian Institution of Agricultural Engineers

He said that for the country to attain sufficiency in food, agriculture engineers must promote mechanised farming and leverage digital technology in farming.

He said that they must also build their capacities, network and collaborate with other professionals.

He urged them to participate in policy formation, maximise access to funding, technological equipment, and also take agriculture as a business.

UNICEF targets 5,000 Katsina youths to effectively manage plastic waste

The United Nations Children Funds (UNICEF) says it will engage about 5,000 youths across Katsina State as part of efforts to transform plastic waste into wealth.

Mrs Stella Terver

Mrs Stella Terver, UNICEF Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Programme Officer, Kano Field Office, disclosed this on Saturday, August24, 2024, in Katsina, the state capital.

Terver explained that UNICEF was sensitising the youths on how they could become entrepreneurs and be able to innovate.

“Maybe they can use these plastic wastes to see if they can use them in making some household items, such as interlocks and other things.

“So, we just wanted them to think out of the box to exercise their energy in thinking and making the environment friendly for all humans, especially children.

“With that, the first engagement we had was an inception meeting, where we got to understand the youth groups that exist in Katsina, their various missions, visions and interests, to see whether it rhymes with climate change.

“So, we were able to find at least 30 youth groups that are into climate change activities across the state,” she said.

Terver said the state ministry of youths would now be an umbrella that would bring the youths together and manage them, “because we don’t deal with individuals, but government, and institutions.”

According to her, the ministry will be managing the youths, while UNICEF will support them in building their capacity, so that with the skills they acquire, “they will be able to plant trees, nurture them, and we support them in monitoring the progress.

“For plastic waste like I said, we want to see if we can have entrepreneurs among the youths that will be interested in making a business out of it.

“UNICEF is also engaging 30 youth groups, focusing on the fight against climate change impact on the environment as well as open defecation.”

She said that, recently, UNICEF had engaged the youths in an interactive session to educate them on how to protect their environment from the risks of climate change and plastic waste management.

The UNICEF WASH officer further stressed the significance of creating a conducive environment through tree planting and nurturing plants to maturity.

“The engagement will make the environment to be resilient to issues around heat waves, droughts, flooding, and a whole lot of other challenges.

“For example, Katsina is in the Sahel region, if you could recall over the time, especially recently, there has been extreme cold, rain, hit, and flooding, and almost everything is extreme.

“UNICEF engaging these youths is about making them key into the initiative of making the environment climate resilient like I said earlier,” she noted.

Terver added that they engaged the youths on tree planting, “not only the planting, but sensitising and supporting them to take ownership of the trees to nurture them to maturity.”

According to Terver, looking at the plastic waste management, when UNICEF sensitises the youths, it also advocates that they should be agents of climate change.

“For example, you will see all these plastic wastes all over, if you get to the farm, they are there too.

“You know, they are non-degradable, it will not allow the farm to yield very well, therefore, it could lead to food scarcity and lots more.

“It also blocks the drainages. So, what we are trying to do is to sensitise the youths and motivate them to be agents of plastic waste management, whereby, they can be entrepreneurs,

“They can gather all these plastic wastes and sell it to recyclers in tonnes. And we are also looking at sensitising them to see if they can think of other innovation,” she assured.

Groups seek to unleash youth power, ignite climate action

“Young people are the most passionate, the most committed, and the most effective advocates for a sustainable future.” – Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations

Millions of Africans have been disproportionately affected by the devastating impacts of the global climate crisis though being relatively low carbon polluters. The socio-economic impacts of climate change in Africa have left Africa as one of the most vulnerable regions in the world today, creating inequalities among several communities that are ill equipped to combat the realities of the climate crisis and disasters.

Youth Capacity Building Climate Justice Workshop
Participants at the Youth Capacity Building Climate Justice Workshop in Port Harcourt, Rivers State

These environmental issues impact the socio-economic well-being of millions of Nigerians and there’s a greater need for ecological justice today.

On Friday, August 16, 2024, Prime Initiative for Green Development in collaboration with International Climate Change Development Initiative with the sponsorship of African Activists for Climate Justice held a Youth Capacity Building Climate Justice Workshop in Port Harcourt, Nigeria with the theme “Igniting Climate Action: Unleashing Youth Climate Power”. The workshop was hosted by American Corner Port Harcourt located at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Through engaging sessions on Understanding Climate Justice, Just Transition; The Niger Delta Conundrum, and Youth Involvement in Climate Change Advocacy, participants gained a comprehensive understanding of climate justice and its implications in our world today. The workshop equipped attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to actively contribute to the effective implementation of existing policies and laws enacted to protect public interest.

The interactive format of each session ensured very engaging discussions, with participants demonstrating interest through their thoughtful questions. Expert speakers provided insightful and actionable responses to their complex questions.

In the words of the keynote speaker, Barr. Dum Syl Aminikpo, Head of Programmes, Ken Saro Wiwa Foundation, climate justice is fundamentally a human rights issue that demands immediate attention.

Aminikpo said: “It is imperative that we deploy innovative strategies to create tangible and lasting positive impacts within our communities. The strategic utilisation of social media and cutting-edge technology can significantly enhance our ability to monitor, assess, and advocate for effective climate justice solutions. We must empower the current generation of young people to serve as catalysts for transformational change, driving a paradigm shift towards environmental protection and the sustained socio-economic well-being of our communities.”

A significant highlight of the panel discussion was exploring the role of gender equality and the inclusion of diverse voices in achieving climate justice in Nigeria today. It is indeed imperative to strengthen women’s leadership and representation in climate decision-making processes. By amplifying diverse voices, Nigeria can build a more just and equitable society, better equipped to address the challenges posed by climate change.

Concluding with a networking session among participants and group photography, the workshop provided a platform for knowledge exchange and relationship building among participants.

Truly, the future of environmental sustainability rests squarely on Africa’s youth. It is imperative that they are equipped, and their capacities built to effectively influence the realisation of climate justice across the continent.

Govt to revamp abandoned water projects across states – Minister

The Federal Government has put measures in place to revamp abandoned water projects across the country to ensure availability of potable water for the citizens.

Prof. Joseph Utsev
Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev

Mr Joseph Utsev, the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, said this at the end of a two-day inspection of water projects in Osun State.

The minister visited the Ilesa water dam in Kajola and Ife water dam, in Ogudu.

The minister, who was accompanied by the Osun State Commissioner for Water Resources, Mr Sunday Oroniyi, also said that ongoing water projects would be completed.

Speaking with newsmen at the Ilesa dam, Utsev said he was on a three-day inspection tour of water project sites across the southwest states.

“We’ve been going around the country, and now, we are touring the South West Zone of the country which brought us to these dam sites which is being constructed here in Osun.

“And the aim of this dam is to supply water to the treatment plant for onward supply to the inhabitants of this particular area. But visiting this particular dam, I’ve noticed that the quantum of water that was needed for treatment to supply to the inhabitants is not enough.

“Having spoken with the consultant, the stakeholders will deliberate on the reports they submitted and look at different options to arrive at an environmental-friendly and cost-effective ways of making sure that adequate water is available for the citizens,” the minister said.

After completing his tour of various water and other project sites across the country, he said, he will also device a means to ensure that Nigerians get value for money on all the projects under the ministry.

In his remarks, Oroniyi described the minister’s visit as a positive turn around for both Ilesa and Ile-Ife water projects.

“I want to believe that the visit of the minister will bring a lot of positive changes.

“This is because Ilesa dam has been on for long, and it has even stopped.

“But we want to see the reason the project stopped and that is the reason behind this fact-finding mission by the Minister.

“So, once we collate the problems, definitely, we will get the solution,” he said.
