Honourable Aisha Barde, Commissioner of Environment for Taraba State speaking at a high-level forum Towards Implementation: A Call to Deliver Action at COP30
"We’ve developed our first ever Subnational Transition Plan, the Taraba State Climate Change Policy and Action Plan. This policy is not just a document; it is a declaration of intent. With support from our partner the Under2 Coalition our Climate action is accelerating – the last 2 years is evidence of that. "
