"What is happening in Sudan is absolutely horrible. The humanitarian situation in Sudan is devastating.

 CLIMATE CHANGE: LASG CALLS FOR STRONGER COALITIONS BETWEEN VULNERABLE CITIES, GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS


The Lagos State Government on Friday called for stronger and genuine coalitions between vulnerable cities and global institutions to address real-life issues related to climate change and global warming.


The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab made the call while speaking as a panellist on “Protecting Rights in the Face of Sea Level Rise” at the 2nd Berlin  Climate Mobility Forum 2026, held in Berlin, Germany.


In his words: “The West must show more than rhetoric but a strong commitment to climate funding and not just for coastal cities but the Global South to address real-life issues around climate change and global warming, financing and the flow of financing matters”.


Wahab added that there must also be wholesome coalitions, localised climate finance, technology transfer and direct partnership between vulnerable cities and global institutions. 


He stated that the international community must also facilitate technology transfer for flood modelling and coastal engineering, whilst also supporting knowledge exchange between vulnerable cities.


Speaking further alongside a panel consisting of the Prime Minister of Saints Kitts and Nevis, H.E. Dr Terrance Drew; Vice President of the Republic of Maldives, H.E. Uz Hussain Mohammed Lateef; Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability of Ghana, Mr. Seidu Issifu; Permanent Representative of Cabo Verde to the UN Declaration on Sea level rise, H.E Tania Serafim Romualdo and Mayor of Livorno, Hon Luca Salvetti, the Commissioner emphasised that climate crisis does not respect borders and all coastal cities across the globe share a common and existential threat.


He stressed that the international community must be ready to invest in resilient infrastructure that protects lives and livelihoods, as Lagos is ready to lead but can not do it alone.
