President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to arrive Paris, France, Sunday evening to join about 150 other world leaders for the Conference of Parties 21 (COP21).

The meeting is aimed getting nations to agree on how to deal with the issue of climate change.

There has been no agreement on practical actions even though governments have already committed themselves to limiting green house gas emissions that interfere with the climate,

This Paris meeting is therefore seen as the last chance to arrive at concrete binding resolutions over issues which have been discussed every year since 1992 under the auspices of the United Nations.

President Buhari will present Nigeria’s statement at the opening session on Monday before participating in the launching of the International Solar Alliance, an initiative of Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who has invited around 110 nations to join the alliance.

The alliance is to be named the International Agency for Solar Policy and Application (InSPA) and is aimed at a host of African nations and others located within the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

The President will thereafter attend a summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin Republic which has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday on the sidelines of the COP21.

Deliberations at the Paris meeting of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin Republic will focus mainly on the war against Boko Haram and other security issues of common interest to participating countries.

Also on Tuesday, the President has been scheduled to participate in another COP21 sideline event titled: “the Conference on Climate Change and African Solutions” organized by the African Union (AU).

This is ignorance sir

The Climate Change Conference is a very important platform where countries have to negotiate and agree to a common position on cutting carbon emissions.

You might not know it but there is likely to be a binding resolution on the level of C02 emissions from countries. Nigeria has to be proactive and build networks with other countries with similar economic structures and realities.

I applaud Buhari's attendance at the summit, this is why I dont know why people are criticizing him for attending very crucial meetings that will affect us in the long term, however, I acknowledge that I dont have details in terms of his government's position on climate change.

Nigeria still relies on industrial activities, especially in the Oil/Gas and manufacturing sectors, we emit a lot of C02 , N0x and other GHGs, though, while it is unlikely that the summit will come up with punitive measures for countries that exceed agreed targets, this will be the case in the future.

Countries like India , Russia, China and the USA are taking this issue very seriously and it is heart warming that Nigeria is doing so too. The EU is a ruthless body and quite manipulative too. They are ready to take advantage of the ignorance of some countries and economic blocs to get better deal for themselves, even though they contribute a sizable portion of global Greenhouse Gas emissions.

There will be Head of States from over 100 countries present at the summit, it is not by accident. It is crucial and important. The agreement at the summit can lead to a restriction of industrial activities for a country like Nigeria that still has a reliance on fossil fuel emissions and lack of technology to improve methods

Maybe this is what they meant by 'Change'

He's a joke. Nigeria cant enforce traffic rules, how will it enforce emissions control? Nigeria is a war torn state, name another head of a war torn state that isnt 100% focused on the war at home. Was Assad there?

Why is the room just a bunch of hausa and yoruva people sweating on eachother? Does anything about this meeting look planned or constructive?

When is President Buhari coming to visit Nigeria na...he is just visiting everywhere except Nigeria it seems

Ask yourself what is commonwealth! Commonwealth to me is an elevated slavery countries! I mean puppet countries to the uk! Check them well they are former british colonies! So what are they commoning in wealth?

Shame african leaders still honour such shame,

Well zimbabwe is not amongst, I guess for the type of leader he was!

Africa need a leader with idi-amins boldness coupled with a mandelas heart with a touch of mugabes exposure with an awolowos policy!

It would have been a great continent.
