Beyond the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions globally, efforts being undertaken to address climate change must also take into consideration its implications on social justice and inequalities, especially for the poor and vulnerable in developing economies.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo during an introductory meeting with the University Management at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada…yesterday.

Continuing, he argued that “we need to reframe our climate action paradigm from merely a technical effort to cut emissions, to an approach that places people and addressing social inequality at the centre of our efforts. According to him, “the point that must be made is that it is unfair that while many global north countries recognize the need for a wide range of options and different paths to net-zero for themselves, the same courtesy is not necessarily extended to Africa.”

Osinbajo then referenced current estimates, which stated that Africa was warming faster than the global average and experiencing greater increases in the rise of sea-level.
