Enabling Climate Change Education for Schools and Communities in Nigeria

This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 4 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world.

You will work on solving a local problem, initiated by the Omdena Oshodi, Nigeria Chapter.

The problem

Engaging more than 500 youths in one community in learning about the climate crisis, developing a solution for an issue they are passionate about, and taking action to lead real, powerful environmental change in their communities e.g Tree Planting, Plastic recycling, Ocean cleaning up and others will immensely in helping the world to meet climate change targets.

It will help in limiting global warming below 2 degrees pre-industrial level. It helps a transformative shift in thinking among people. It also helps reawaken our consciousness to a sustainable behavioral change. It helps send the message that our way of living sends a corrupt signal and Stop Ecocide will help us just change that.

The goals

It matters to me because we want to put an end to the rates in damage and destruction to the Earth and its inhabitants should stop. It will be used in as evidence that youths are not acting to cause harm but to prevent our Planet. When science is telling us that Our Planet is in trouble, and we want to protect our people and planet, then using this right is both justified and necessary. We think teaching youths about climate crisis and how to take action is the way to do that as it would allow Youths to learn about climate crisis and understand why it matters on so many levels, especially sustainable wise. Youths have prioritized the environment and we could really teach them and work with them by letting them do the decision-making when it comes to Climate change. Our goal is to have future generations with mindset and expectation of the ability to take initiatives and create positive climate change. I will train more volunteers and collaborate with other young active minds with ideas, innovations and talents within and outside my network to help move forward our project to the next level.
