To underscore the importance of sustainable climate change efforts, Governor Bago divided the Ministry of Environment, creating a new Ministry which he named Ministry of Climate Change. His administration’s focus on renewable energy and sustainable practices is evident in the proposed Tagwai Dam hydroelectric project, investment in mini-grid systems for rural areas, extensive tree planting, healthy waste management, and bio-energy exploration.
