Even though the COP27\u2019s agenda notes the need for compensation for loss and damages (as distinct from adaptation and mitigation funding), that demand has mostly been met with silence in the West.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">Buhari accused the Western leaders of leeching on the continent\u2019s natural resources and leaving its citizens out of the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">He decried the injustice meted out on Africa, saying the actions give off the impression that Africans do not deserve a right to energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cDon\u2019t tell Africans they can\u2019t use their own resources. If Africa were to use all its known reserves of natural gas \u2014 the cleanest transitional fossil fuel \u2014 its share of global emissions would rise from a mere 3 percent to 3.5 percent,\u201d Buhari said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cWe are not the problem. Don\u2019t tell the poorest in the world that their marginal energy use will break the carbon budget \u2014 only to sign off on new domestic permits for oil and gas exploration. It gives the impression your citizens have more of a right to energy than Africans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cWhen you realize you need Africa\u2019s reserves, don\u2019t cut its citizens out of the benefits. In the wake of the Ukraine war, there has been a resurgence of interest in Africa\u2019s gas. But this impulse is coming from Western companies \u2014 backed by their governments \u2014 who are interested only in extracting these resources and then exporting them to Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cWestern development has unleashed climate catastrophe on my continent. Now, the rich countries\u2019 green policies dictate that Africans should remain poor for the greater good. To compound the injustice, Africa\u2019s hydrocarbons will be exploited after all \u2014 just not for Africans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cThe Western countries are unable to take politically difficult decisions that hurt domestically. Instead, they move the problem offshore, essentially dictating that the developing world must swallow the pill too bitter for their own voters\u2019 palates. Africa didn\u2019t cause the mess, yet we pay the price. At this year\u2019s COP, that should be the starting point for all negotiations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the ongoing COP27 in Egypt, the United Kingdom had said Nigeria will get a \u00a395 million investment fund to support climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria&#8217;s President Muhammadu Buhari has tackled Western leaders for failing to take responsibility for the climate disasters in Africa.
