Adesina said the Federal Government’s policy to address climate change, as espoused in the country’s INDC, committed to 20 percent unconditional and 45 percent conditional Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emission reduction post 2020.
He stated: "The action plan announced by the Federal Government represents a fair and meaningful contribution to address climate change and equally reaffirms President Buhari’s commitment to an economic transformation which places inclusive, green growth as key priority for this administration.”
