The Kano Government on Friday inaugurated a Climate Change Policy to address environmental challenges in the state.
The policy also seeks to align the state policy with the global climate objectives.
Dr Dahir Hashim, Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, said this at a one-day high-level sensitisation exercise in Kano.
The exercise was organised by the ministry in collaboration with the Partnership for Agile Governance and Climate Engagement (PACE).
Hashim said the policy would serve as a roadmap for climate action in the state, noting that no meaningful participation in climate interventions could occur without a guiding document.
He said the policy was developed through a participatory process that involved eight ministries, including health, commerce, transportation and industry, to ensure inclusiveness and community ownership.
The commissioner said the implementation of the policy would require coordinated efforts from the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), development partners and the media.
“Each stakeholder has a distinct role to play, ranging from policy alignment and programme delivery to community engagement,” he said.
Hashim, who highlighted health risks associated with climate change such as respiratory diseases, air pollution and mental health concerns, reiterated government’s commitment to sustainable, long term and youth focused climate solutions.
“We are reviewing existing environmental state bylaws and preparing a roadmap for implementation,” he said.
He commended the participants for their contributions and reaffirmed the state government’s resolve to strengthen climate response.
