The United Kingdom on Monday announced a £95 million investment in climate resilient agriculture in Nigeria.
“The Glasgow Climate Pact gave the world the tools to limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees and build a secure and sustainable future. Now is the time for all countries to step up their action on climate change and deliver the tangible change needed,” UK Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, said.
Mr Cleverly announced the investment at the ongoing climate change summit (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
“The UK will continue to play a leading role in this mission. The funding we have announced will support countries which are facing the devastating impact of climate change, to adapt effectively,” Mr Cleverly added.
At least four million Nigerians, including two million women are expected to benefit from this investment to increase productivity and adapt to the effects of climate change while reducing emissions.
