The Chairman of the Senate Inter-Parliamentary Committee, Jimoh Ibrahim, says there is a need for African countries to sign climate change liability agreements with all developed countries responsible for carbon emissions on the continent.
Senator Ibrahim, who is currently in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in the company of President Bola Tinubu for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), emphasised the need for developed countries to sign a liability agreement with African countries on climate change, and also compensate Africa for carbon emissions on the continent.

He noted that if the developed countries paid compensation to African countries on the impact of climate change on the continent, it would help Africa to offset its huge foreign debt.
He also noted that combustion and emissions from industrial toxic wastes know no boundaries and move around the globe and also settle on the continent of Africa.
