As we brace up for COP27, amid Europe's energy crisis and the food inflationary episodes triggered in part by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the need for an inclusive climate governance approach is urgent. Moreover, since humans drive most institutional frameworks, we can intentionally prioritise and incentivise a behavioural change and cultural approach to climate action. From the agency of individuals who choose to litter public spaces to the agency of business and state actors, no one must be left behind. Some of my questions include: ■ What perspectives and culture need to be entrenched so that individuals would prefer and choose not to litter public spaces? ■ What mechanisms may influence a restructure of energy mix for household production? ■ What policy positions may compel large companies with linear production systems to transform into circular firms, that incentivise proper sorting, disposal and recycling of plastic waste? ■ How can we galvanise actions towards

Shouldn't Nigeria seek recolonisation...perhaps, Germany or France should colonise us in the next round? This was the agitating question posed to me by a brilliant young mind after a recent 'History and Structure of the Nigerian economy' class. Clearly, nation-building and sustainable development requires much more than a formal declaration of national sovereignty. The question mirrors the deep frustration of youth with the status quo since Nigeria gained her Independence from colonial rule in 1960. They wonder why fate had not granted them the priviledge of witnessing the 'golden' era of colonial governance and post-independence regional governments.  Need we blame colonial rule and decades of military dictatorship for the devastating blows to the ruling constitution and culture of the Nigerian people? I think not.  Singapore, also a former colony of Britain, transformed from a third world underdeveloped nation to a developed market economy, led by a military, impe
