The Federal Government has revealed that a report by the inter-governmental panel on climate change showed that many coastal cities including Lagos and Port Harcourt would witness weather catastrophe by 2050.
Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, disclosed this during a side event organized by the Ministry in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, at the ongoing COP27 event in Egypt.
Abdullahi noted that the challenges of climate change were enormous, adding that no individual ministry could confront the challenges alone.
The Minister, however, assured that his Ministry is going through the provision of information on future actions required by cities that are projected to be affected by the climate change effects.
