The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has pledged to secure funds from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to address the losses and damages caused by climate change in Nigeria.
He said the IPU, a global body of parliamentarians, has a budget of $30 billion to fight climate change and that he will use his office as an executive member of the union to secure some funds during the 28th Conference of Parties (COP) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to address the effects of climate change back home.
Mr Akpabio said this on Thursday during an interactive session with the management of the Nigerian Ecological Office at the senate complex, Abuja.
