[Shola Sholaz]

Nigerian  civil society groups under the aegis of Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, PACJA, has underlined the urgency and importance of environmental sustainability insisting that the post 2015 framework must firmly entrench responses to climate change.
.
The group has therefore called on  negotiators to break the jinx and bolster levels of ambition in the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol.
.
Frontline environmentalist, Prof. David Okali said without rigorous enforcement, the greenhouse gas GHG emission will rise and intensify climate change with dire consequences for developing countries like Nigeria.
.
He stated that every effort must be made to achieve a global agreement to reduce GHG emission into the atmosphere. Quoting the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, IMF, Christine Legarde,  he said "Unless we respond (effectively) to Climate Change, future generations will be roasted, toasted, , fried and grilled!"
