In light of the need to raise awareness and encourage action to protect the environment, June 5 has been earmarked as World Environment Day. This day is celebrated annually, and the theme for 2024 is Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. This theme resonates well with the submissions in the white paper published by the NESG Sustainability Policy Commission in March 2024, “A Pragmatic Path to Net-Zero Using the Green Economy, Blue Economy, and Forestry.” While environmental sustainability issues remain a global concern, Nigeria is one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, flooding, more intense storms, and desertification. Therefore, this podcast will highlight the imperatives to address the interrelated issues of climate change, environmental conservation and social well-being. Bringing his wealth of experience as an Environmental Sustainability and Waste Management Consultant with over 20 years of experience, Dr Femi Idowu-Adegoke will discuss Nigeria's progress since the submission of an updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2021, the significant challenges, and potential strategies to bolster environmental sustainability
