Entrepreneurs have a huge role to play in curbing climate change. Considering the number of entrepreneurs in Nigeria, if all adopt a sustainable strategy, we would be on our way to a Net zero faster.

Never say out of your lips about yourself or your future that which you do not want God to make happen.

Remember his words, "as long as I live that which I hear you say that will I do"

It's from your mouth into his ears, be careful. Jesus can only advocate on what you say.

[Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, CON, CGH @akin_adesina]

In tough times, always remember: God is polishing you, not punishing you. You will soon shine!

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen Finally, I strongly believe that if some of these steps are taken we can achieve the net Zero target.

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 12. Some have argued that the Net zero target is impractical. This is a challenge, however, I would say it is achievable but the way in which the financial markets and Investors respond will be a great enabler to achieving the set goal or a huge barrier to achieving the goal.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 11. The floods and extreme weather events we are expressing now should serve as a warning of things to come. So investors should not hesitate before investing in the sector.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 10 v). Increase transparency,- investors should readily know their exposure to carbon risk as well as their carbon impacts. Governments at all levels should make it mandatory for companies to disclose their carbon risks and impacts.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 9. Investors need to use their understanding of the climate change problems we face now as pragmatic guides to analyse the manner in which they are investing. I believe using the principles of sustainability to guide investment makes business sense.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 8iv) Heavy Sanctions: Nigerian Governments should impose heavy sanctions on companies contributing to greenhouse emissions. There should also be in place high carbon taxes. In the long run, it is beneficial for everybody that we move as briskly as possible to a low carbon economy

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 7. Also, policymakers could introduce a label system that would indicate the carbon risk and impact of let’s say an infrastructure project.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 6iii) Clarity: We shouldn’t assume that people understand climate change. We need to keep having discussions like this so that people can understand climate change and its effect.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 5ii). Government participation at all levels- all levels of government, state, local, and Federal should invest wisely in low carbon infrastructure. For instance, local govt and state govt can issue a green bond in other to develop low-carbon infrastructure in their states.

[Ayo Ropo @AyoRopo]

@onewattsolar @ClimateWed @YouthAssembly @NGYouthSDGs @YouthInEnergy @REEFSA_empowers @energynewsproen 4i)Redirect savings to investing in climate solutions: to achieve a low carbon economy fast enough we all need to get involved. Considering the interest rate, we have currently in Nigeria, our savings should be channelled to investing in climate solutions that will deliverreturns
