Nigeria’s Olanike Olugboji: we need to stop ‘trading blame’ on climate change

Nigerian conservationist Olanike Olugboji says its time for the world to stop “trading blame” on climate change and “look inwards and say what can we do about it?”

Climate change, she says, has led to encroaching desertification, flooding and erosion in Nigeria. Addressing the problem will require collective action, she said.

“It’s a big issue and it’s about giving up a lot of things,” the environmentalist said.
