\nment says it is working hard to tackle the issue of climate change in the state.
\nSpecial Adviser to the state Governor on Sustainable Development Goals) (SDGs, Lady Diana Eyo _Enoette, said this in an interview with newsmen during the launching of Green City Project in Port Harcourt.
\nShe said the government was doing this by raising awareness on the impact of climate change in the State and also control the indiscriminate dumping of waste across the State.
\nEye-Emoette said government has also setup scouts\u00a0 across the State to embark on tree planting campaign in all nooks and crannies of Delta State.
\nShe said time has come for governments across the Niger Delta region to create more awareness on climate change, adding that continuous human activities in the region have made it vulnerable to climate change
\nDiana described her government as a leading voice on climate change as far as the Niger Delta region is concerned and stressed the need for other governments in the region to follow suit.
\nShe said Green City\u2019s initiatives have become a potent weapon in fighting climate change, stressing that the initiative is coming at the appropriate time.
\nThe special advise said governments across the country should key into the green city\u2019s projects inorder to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
\nMeanwhile, a university teacher, Professor Magnus Onuoha, has called for conscious efforts by governments across Africa to check carbon emissions.
\nThe university teacher also described the green city\u2019s initiatives as a safe avenue for emerging cities in Africa.
\nProf Onuoha, who spoke via videophone described the project as innovative, adding that climate change is real and no longer fallacies.
\nAccording to him \u201cit is glaringly telling on our faces and the possibility of it going away is not there\u201d.
