He noted that our attitude to the rival species tends to be forgotten with the busy activity around us as we take for granted the interdependence that sustained human lives with clean water, fertile land, food, and oxygen among others.
"Despite the positive progress of policies, science, and technology, the health of our planet is ringing very loudly to announce we must go into emergency to salvage our planet
"No city or country of the world is immune to the adverse effects of climate change, water, rising temperature, natural disaster, insecurity among others
"It was estimated that the cost of adaptation continued to rise as the Ecosystem can not keep up with our demands
" The gap between what we need to spend to adapt and what we are spending
"The environment crisis did not begin globally, it began locally," he stated.
He stressed that one of the most important of rearticulating human development should be geared toward nature.
"We can not be well developed unless our lives reconnect and be balanced and in harmony with nature," he said.
