Gambari said this at the second session of
Babcock University International Model United
Nations, BIMUN, conference in Ogun State, with
theme Addressing Climate Change-Induced
Conflict: A Roadmap for Achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals.
According to him, “the growing increase in the
climate change-induced conflicts is clear and
presents threat to the survival of humanity and
as a global phenomenon, climate change
requires global action to deal with.
“It also requires collaboration among different
stakeholders across several countries and must
involve everyone.
“As we address climate change, we will
inevitably be addressing all the goals for
sustainable development since climate
influences a great deal of almost everything in
this world.
“When season changes, our predominant
occupations change, our consumption changes,
our mode of dressing changes and even our
natural environment changes.
“This means that developing strategies to
address climate change and its induced
conflicts is as well a roadmap to achieving
sustainable development goals.”
