The advice was given a climate change-based environmental conservation organisation, Revamp Rave Network (RRN).

The founder and convener of Coastal Rural Community Conference on Climate Change, Abimbola Abikoye, gave the advice during her opening remarks recently at a one-day Conference in Lagos.

While speaking at the conference themed: “Strengthening the Capacity of Coastal Communities in Climate Adaptation and Mitigation for more Ocean Governance,” the RRN founder emphasized on the importance of leveraging local knowledge and perspectives in crafting effective climate change mitigation strategies.

She noted that community-driven approaches are essential for creating sustainable policies that resonate with the realities faced by residents in coastal regions.

The overarching aim of the conference, according to Abimbola, was to unite communities in accelerating progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa.

She stressed that the resolutions formulated during the conference which brought together over 500 coastal rural women, men and persons with disabilities from across five largest fishing communities in Lagos, would be documented and presented to government representatives at all levels, with the intent of fostering comprehensive and sustainable policy development.

Speakers at the event in their respective speeches encouraged attendees to take climate change seriously and adopt the best practices in their fishing activities.
