T he last days of 2015 were yet the most celebrated period in the climate change history as the world progressed positively on a clear cut path towards a climate smart future-The Paris Climate deal was struck. This created a sort of balance in the expectations of the parties involved in the climate struggles. The year ended on a more promising note of confidence with regards to the potential outlook of events in the coming years. Now another year is closing. Some 11 months backwards, the world ushered in a new year of optimism and strong potentials for the advancement of the global climate cause. However, the scene of events was a little quiet for the most part of the first and second quarter of the year with most countries busy tailoring their respective Intended Nationally Determined Contribution to allow for proper transitioning into a more agreeable nationally adopted strategies (in the global term could be referred to as the Nationally determined contribution, as the “In...

Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth and is notably recognized within the frame of a number of attached identities, such as being the biggest producer of petroleum in Africa. While it is invariably advancing to become one of the top producers in the world, the country has really come a long way as a fossil fuel-based economy to achieving yet another identity as one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in Africa. The country is yet to find a place among the fully industrialized nations in the world that have been well noted as the all time big emitters. In a way, it has gained commonness for being in the category of generating more green house gases, mostly from the fossil fuel industry, which is the basic bedrock of the nation’s economy.

Sometime in the not too distant future, fossil based energy will finally give way under the pressure of the ever rising popular opinion on divestment and the many life threatening impacts on the stability of the planet and relatively, the wellbeing of humanity at large. While the most identifiable alternative which would represent a significant shift of event in our common history as humanity would be  “Renewable Energy” . The heavy dependence on fossil energy has indeed come of age and the current global clamour for the complete phase out does not actually seem out of place, considering the more obvious long term consequences which far out weight every form of immediate economic and social benefits made possible so far. Indeed it has been quite a long walk for humanity in the journey of fossil fuel de...

The slogan for World Environment Day 2015. Source: UNEP The Milky Way Galaxy, a hub of many planetary bodies, each with its own distinctive belt of extraordinary features which largely still elude the human knowledge grasp. However, while there exists the already known and yet to be identified planetary system in this Galaxy, many of them have been deemed void of life at least within the scope of the present age knowledge of the universe. but right in the vastness of space, a speck of life does exists, a living planet that support life in its entirety , the only home of man, Earth. The planet is such that seem to have a faculty of ingenious succession and adaptive capability such that all possible prevailing conditions synonymous to growth all conformed to the collective evolution of a perfect and functional life system. In other words, Nature, as we have come to christen the system has been quite methodological and sequential in the view of provisions of t...
