A coalition of women-led Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), has urged the Nigerian government to put in place an inclusive and effective mechanism for the swift implementation of the nation’s resolutions made at the just concluded COP28.
The Women Economic Empowerment CSO coalition (WEE-COL) under the auspices of the Development Research and Projects Centre (dRPC), also applauds the government for recognising the severe and disproportionate impacts of climate change on women’s health, well-being and livelihoods.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the coalition’s coordinator, Ruth Agbor, said the COP28 declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action, presents a critical framework for addressing the intersectionality between climate action and women-facing sectors.
