• Says Africa is being shortchanged

At a roundtable with other world leaders in London, yesterday, at the Climate Change Action Week, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, dissected some of the challenges of climate change in the state and how his administration has tamed some of the menaces.

Speaking at the Basinghall Suite 1 of the Guildhall, London, Sanwo-Olu, who had a peer review session with other governors and mayors around the world joined discussions on three topical issues.

The first centred on the reality on the ground and what the leaders were managing in their respective places. The second considered a discussion on, from vulnerability to resilience, looking into what recent shocks taught the leaders about the risks of fossil fuel dependence.

The last of the issues that was considered dwelt on scaling delivery and that was essentially what needed to happen next, for instance, how they could move investment from commitment to prospect.
