Climate Change: Ikpeazu calls for adoption of green economy

The former governor who spoke at the 40th Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Port Harcourt, emphasized the need for a collective shift towards green economy for a sustainable future.

He noted the importance of adopting green practices, utilizing clean energy, and reducing fossil fuel consumption to protect the environment and public health. He said; “Africa contributes less than 15 percent of global pollution, but we are at the receiving end of the brunt of the impact of climate change. So we are trying to draw the consciousness of the world to this unfortunate paradigm. However, we must also begin to think like the rest of the world. Think green, go green, use clean energy, cut down on fossil fuel utilization and use clean energy.

Earlier,President of the Nigerian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Prof. Matthew Owhonda Wegwu, also highlighted the crucial role biochemists play in promoting sustainability and conserving the environment.
