The Director General Nigerian Meteorological Agency, Charles Anosike, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to global collaboration on climate action and environmental sustainability.
Anosike disclosed this on Friday while leading a delegation of the agency to the 5th Network for Education and Research on Peace and Sustainability in Tokyo, Japan.
The conference, which brought together policymakers, researchers and development experts from across the world, examined how technology can strengthen multilateral cooperation to promote peace and sustainable development.
The event opened with a welcome address by the Rector of the United Nations University and United Nations Under-Secretary-General, Tshilidzi Marwala.
Keynote presentations were delivered by Måns Nilsson, Executive Director of the Stockholm Environment Institute, and Rumiko Seya, President of Reach Alternatives.
During several parallel sessions, the NiMet delegation engaged in discussions on climate action, disaster resilience, migration, climate change mitigation, sustainable agriculture, and environmental protection on land and in marine ecosystems.
The team also contributed to deliberations on climate governance, urban resilience, equitable climate justice, and transboundary resource management, as well as emerging methods for monitoring and predicting environmental changes.
NiMet said its participation in the conference strengthened knowledge exchange and fostered collaboration with international stakeholders, while reinforcing Nigeria’s role in global efforts aimed at addressing climate challenges and advancing sustainable development.
