Speaking , he said " The cool earth initiative is a $10bn project to deal with all environmental issues because Africa is vulnerable to environmental emergency and this project will not only address and focus on environment but also on agriculture, water, climate changes, among others so that we can all have a healthy and cool earth to live in".Receiving the Japanese delegation, the Hon. Minister of Environment, Mr. John Odeh welcomed the idea and noted that the ministry is charged with the responsibility of ensuring a sustainable environment .

His words " our policy to ensure a sustainable environment is thrust on the 7-point agenda of this present administration to bring our country to limelight, thus we will build mutual relationship with the Japanese and collaborate with the all relevant department".The Minister said the priority of hid tenure is to revive cases of erosions, gas flaring, tanks farms, desertification and deforestation which he said had led to the untimely deaths of thousand of people annually.
