The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) on Wednesday pledged to provide technical support to Nigeria in addressing climate change challenges.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo in a statement said WMO’s Deputy Secretary-General, Ms Ko Barrett, made the commitment during a session with Nigeria’s delegation at COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Keyamo stated that Nigeria, as one of the WMO’s Peer Advisors, would benefit from the organisation’s assistance to strengthen climate resilience strategies, particularly in the aviation sector.
He emphasised the interconnectedness of aviation and climate change, noting the need for sustainable practices across all sectors.
Speaking at the Nigerian Pavilion during the celebration of Nigeria Day at COP 29, Keyamo stressed the importance of aligning Nigeria’s aviation and aerospace policies with global climate objectives.
He outlined ongoing initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources in the aviation industry.
“Nigeria is fully committed to addressing the global climate crisis. Our aviation sector is undergoing transformative reforms to align with international sustainability standards.
“The commitments we secure here at COP 29 will drive our vision for a resilient and eco-friendly aviation ecosystem,” he stated.
Keyamo also highlighted Nigeria’s potential as a prime destination for green investments in the aviation and aerospace sectors, reaffirming the ministry’s dedication to positioning the country as a leader in sustainable aviation.
He noted that Nigeria’s participation at COP 29 reaffirms its commitment to global partnerships supporting the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. (NAN) www.nannews.ng
