Nigeria is an economic giant which unfortunately many threats hover. Climate change and pollution have added to all the socio-economic challenges the country already faces. The negligence of the constituted authorities and the misinformation of the citizens on the dangers of climate change have forged our commitment to the climate cause. Because at AdvoKC, we are aware of the difficulties that await Nigeria and Africa if the authorities and citizens continue to ignore climate change and its harmful effects.
Climate change refers to long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. These changes are primarily caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.

Since the increase in industrialization all over the planet, the climate has become a very serious subject. In Africa and Nigeria, oil exploitation has caused irreparable environmental damage. This has not improved with population growth. And more than having to worry about the climate, we must take into account the global degradation of the environment. In Lagos, user plastics are ubiquitous; in streets, ditches, parks, and even the ocean.

It is no longer a secret that planet Earth is getting warmer, forests are shrinking and the desert is advancing. Everyone is now aware of these facts, or at least one of them. Climate inaction can therefore be summed up as ignoring these facts, and/or not acting on them.

On climate talks, the African voice is hardly listened to. The only decision-makers are the powerful countries, the main emitters of carbon dioxide. This may be found to be reasonable, in the sense that it is up to those responsible for making the necessary arrangements to protect the environment.
