JALINGO — GOVERNOR Agbu Kefas of Taraba State, Friday, launched the state’s Climate Change Policy and Action Plan, calling for collective action across all sectors to build an environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient state.
Unveiling the policy document in Jalingo, Governor Kefas stated that the framework represents a critical step in determining the state’s environmental future, particularly the preservation of its forests, rivers, and rich natural resources.
He warned that climate change is already taking a toll on agriculture and local communities through unpredictable rainfall and drying water bodies, stressing that any climate framework failing to support farmers would fail.
Kefas said: “We are taking the decision about the future of Taraba. We are deciding whether our forests will still be standing and whether our rivers will still be flowing.
