Today, we join the global community to commemorate World Environment Day 2026 under the theme: "Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future."

With global temperatures already 1.1 degree celcius above pre-industrial levels and Nigeria facing rapid urbanization, severe flooding, and desertification, climate action can no longer just be about future promises. It requires an immediate overhaul of the systems that power our economies, shape consumption patterns, and influence industrial growth.

At the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), we believe that achieving long-term environmental sustainability is closely tied to solving our national development challenges. It demands collective action, robust policy reforms, and deep public accountability across both the public and private sectors.
