 A civil society organization Oil Watch International has advocated a sustained shift from energy generated from fossil fuel to cleaner and renewable sources to foster the well-being of the global environment. This was amplified during a global gathering on climate change organized by the organization in Port Harcourt, Riverside Capital. The theme was Demanding Real Zero, not Net Zero. The director of Health of Mother Earth Foundation is Dr. Nimo Basi. He highlighted the urgent need for a shift from what he described as dirty energy to clean energy and a shift to the grassroots. Governments and corporations are talking about achieving net zero. Net zero doesn't mean zero. Net zero carbon emissions means you keep on emitting the carbon but then you find a way of either capturing the carbon and burying it somewhere or you plant some trees or designate some forest as places where carbon is being absorbed. So you try to balance the production and the capturing or the sinking of the carbon and then you achieve net zero. So it doesn't really, it's like people trying to solve global problems by mathematics. Nature doesn't work that way. The world needs to stop the use of fossil fuel and in fact nobody, no country, no company should go on exploring looking for new oil, gas or coal reserves. UNESCO have been very clear about it that oil exploitation or extractive activities themselves are not compatible with the status of world heritage and that's why we are worried and we engage communities by as well trying to share with them the experience and that's why we are here in Nigeria to gather the more information possible and to share that with the communities and the ultimate goal is just to strengthen them and for them to know that they are not alone in this fight and they have the solidarity with for from many older communities in Africa. What is there in Togo is that where oil is discovered the livelihoods of communities communities are fishermen actually. So now fish activities has been reduced because of restriction areas and women are suffering because they no longer process fish as they do before.
