Day 5 Report – UN Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP17): Delegates advanced negotiations on biodiversity finance, biosafety, access and benefit-sharing, soil biodiversity, and the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, while highlighting the need for predictable funding, stronger implementation, and improved coordination across agriculture, environment, and health sectors. Recommendation for Nigeria: Nigeria should strengthen implementation of its biodiversity commitments by securing predictable biodiversity finance, integrating soil biodiversity into national agricultural planning, improving biosafety and monitoring systems, and ensuring meaningful participation of local communities and smallholder farmers.

Nigeria’s NDC 3.0 is an important opportunity to turn climate commitments into tangible action, strengthen resilience, and drive inclusive green economic growth. The next priority must be effective implementation backed by accessible climate finance, strong interministerial coordination, and measurable accountability. With sustained collaboration between government, @UNDPNigeria, the private sector, and civil society, Nigeria can deliver lasting climate solutions that protect livelihoods and leave no community behind.

The persistent electricity challenges are becoming increasingly frustrating, and I sincerely hope the government is taking urgent and concrete steps to address the situation. Nigerians deserve a reliable power supply, and it is time for effective solutions and greater accountability.

🔥 Nigeria must act now to prepare for the growing threat of extreme heat linked to El Niño and climate change, with projections warning of potentially devastating impacts on lives, livelihoods, agriculture, and public health. We must invest in early-warning systems, cooling and hydration centres, worker protection, stronger healthcare services, and long-term climate adaptation to save lives and protect vulnerable communities. #ClimateAction #ExtremeHeat #ElNino #ClimateAdaptation #Nigeria
