For the COP28 Climate Summit, which is scheduled to take place in December 2023, President Bola Tinubu has left Abuja for Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

With “Unite, Act, and Deliver” as its subject, this year’s summit aims to raise awareness of the serious consequences of climate change, including erosion, flooding, desertification, and drought, as well as the challenges to national security they pose.

During the summit, President Tinubu will make the most of the platform to promote greater financial and technical assistance for developing countries. At the same time, he will remind developed nations of their public commitment to donate $100 billion a year to support regional efforts aimed at tackling climate change-related issues.

“Holding businesses and institutions accountable will be a key component of the President’s message, reflecting Nigeria’s commitment to sustainable and responsible practices.”

At the world leaders’ summit, which will take place on December 1 and 2, 2023, with the theme, ‘Unite, Act, and Deliver,’ Tinubu will deliver a national statement, highlighting Nigeria’s stance on various thematic issues, including renewable energy and climate financing.

While in Dubai, he is also expected to participate in key sideline events, which will further support the advancement of his avowed commitment to aggressively attract foreign direct investment for enhanced wealth creation and revenue expansion in the country, in addition to other events hosted by the Nigerian delegation.

He had also informed the National Assembly, during the 2024 budget presentation, that the Nigerian delegation will strive to emerge from COP28 with tangible commitments and work towards securing substantial funding commitments that will bolster Nigeria’s energy transition.

The President is accompanied by senior government officials to the summit also known as the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28).
