Founder of Bridge That Gap Initiative, Ms Gloria Bulus, an NGO, has called for urgent and collective action to protect the environment and tackle climate change through nature-based solutions and community-driven interventions.
Bulus made the call in a statement issued on Friday June 5 in Kaduna, to commemorate the World Environment Day 2026, themed “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.” She noted that the theme underscores the critical role of nature in combating climate change and securing a sustainable future for generations to come.
According to Bulus, communities across Nigeria and other parts of the world are already experiencing the devastating impacts of climate changes. She stressed that nature remains one of humanity’s greatest allies in addressing the climate crisis through active cultivation of forests, wetlands, healthy soils, and other ecosystems that support climate resilience and sustainable development.
Bulus maintained that the future depends on actions taken today, stressing that allowing nature to thrive will enable it to continue sustaining communities and protecting future generations.
She called on Nigerians to draw inspiration from nature’s resilience and regenerative capacity as the world commemorates World Environment Day 2026, insisting that collective action remains essential to securing a sustainable future.
