He stressed that, some of the examples of Climate Change such as droughts, storms, high temperature (heat), and other disasters add enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere thereby increasing mortality, the greenhouse effect, global warning, disease spread and health related issues, damage to ecosystems, Infrastructure, hinders food availability, reduces productivity.
Prof Sir Bashiru Aremu added that, the major causes of Climate Change which Included amongst others are: Apart of its natural occurrence, human activities such as Deforestation(Agriculture- farming & Livestock production), Manufacturing, Transportation, Buildings, Food Production processes, Consumption etcetera with its negative impacts on man and his environment requires solutions by way of resilience and action plan for a positive results and achievement of a set a objective, goal or strategy.

The latter, that is, Adaptation is the action that changes a living thing so that it is better able to survive in a new environment”.
“To Achieve Climate Resilience, there is obvious need for Climate Resilient Development which means reducing exposure and vulnerability to Climate hazards, risks, shocks by way of cutting out greenhouse emissions and conserving biodiversity. This action plan will be given the highest regulatory attention, or priorities in everyday decision-making and policies in all aspects, sectors of the economy such as Energy, Industry, Health, Water, Food and others”.
