Senate President  Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at the weekend, in Paris, urged his counterparts from across the world to lead the move to save the environment.

Saraki, while presiding over a session of the Globe COP 21 legislators summit inside the French National Assembly Complex, under the theme: “Developments in National Legislation on Climate Change, Disaster, Risk Reduction, Energy and Sustainable Development – Towards Integrated National Planning on the 2015 Agenda” said the success of the move to make the environment   safer required effective leadership which legislators were better placed to provide.

He said legislators at the global summit had a challenge to go back to their home countries and domesticate the issues raised and share the experiences gathered so as to spread the success recorded in some places and avoid the mistakes encountered in some other countries.

“We must make changes through our parliaments. Parliamentarians are better placed to

lead the campaign through legislations and advocacy programmes   for the needed change of attitude, required investment and consistent attention necessary to reduce global warming and its dangerous consequence”, Saraki said.
