Lagos State Joins Under2 Coalition for Climate Action

On Monday, during the London Climate Action Week, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Under2 Coalition, the world's largest network of states and regions committed to achieving net-zero emissions. This non-binding agreement aligns with Lagos State's existing climate goals and aims to enhance cooperation among member governments.

The MOU does not create legal obligations but reflects a shared commitment to advance climate action. Sanwo-Olu emphasized this step as significant for Lagos's climate journey, positioning the city as a leader in climate action in Africa.

The Lagos delegation included key officials such as Tokunbo Wahab and Titilayo Oshodi, who highlighted the importance of knowledge exchange and collaboration in achieving broader climate objectives. The membership in the Under2 Coalition is expected to strengthen Lagos State's role as a hub for subnational climate action and open new avenues for international partnerships and investment in clean energy and sustainable development.
