Message from the PRESIDENCY
“The North West region of Nigeria stands at a critical juncture. For decades, our communities have borne the brunt of severe climate impacts — from encroaching desertification and dwindling water resources to changing rainfall patterns that threaten our agricultural foundation.
The North West Climate Summit 2026 is not merely a forum for discussion; it is a decisive platform for action. We are committed to turning our climate challenges into catalysts for sustainable economic growth — mobilizing climate finance, catalysing partnerships, and developing investment pipelines capable of delivering measurable development outcomes.”
