Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed for Belém, Brazil, to represent President Bola Tinubu at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference. The two‑day summit, hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in partnership with international stakeholders, will take place in the Amazonian capital of Pará state.
The conference brings together world leaders, global development partners, and business executives for high‑level sessions. On the first day, Senator Shettima will attend the general plenary of leaders, where he is expected to present Nigeria’s climate‑action address. He will also take part in the launch of the Tropical Forest Forever Fund and join a roundtable on Climate and Nature chaired by President Lula.
In addition to these engagements, Vice President Shettima will hold bilateral meetings aimed at securing Nigeria’s participation in global carbon markets. The event provides a platform for nations to discuss and address climate change, a pressing global issue, and the participation of leaders such as Shettima underscores the importance of international cooperation in mitigating its effects.
As Nigeria’s representative, Vice President Shettima’s attendance highlights the country’s commitment to tackling climate change and its willingness to engage with the international community. The outcomes of the conference are expected to contribute to global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
