Environmental Awareness & Climate Education Program - February 19th, 2026

As part of our first environmental awareness and educational outreach for 2026, we engaged students of Great Champion School, Gbagi, Airport Road, Ibadan, Oyo State in an interactive climate education session.

This impactful program was inspired by the momentum of the African Climate Justice Caravan (ACJC) 2025, which took place in November along the Gbagi- Airport Road axis. Building on that experience, the session focused on climate change, environmental responsibility, waste management, and the vital role young people play in protecting their environment.

The students participated actively, asked thoughtful questions, and showed genuine enthusiasm about becoming environmental champions within their school and community.
To ensure sustainability and continuous engagement, we also established an Environmental Club in the school. The club will serve as a platform for ongoing climate education, practical environmental activities, and youth-led green initiatives.

This marks a significant step in sustaining climate justice awareness at the grassroots level, especially among young learners, as advocacy continues to translate into practical education and action.

📚 The future of climate action starts with informed and empowered children.

🌍 African Climate Justice Caravan (ACJC) 2025 – Nigeria 🌍

Nigeria successfully participated in the African Climate Justice Caravan 2025, led by Young Volunteer for the Environment YVE Nigeria, a pan-African movement amplifying community voices ahead of COP30. Activities were observed in Oyo, Lagos, Akwa Ibom, and Jigawa States, engaging youth, women, CSOs, community members, policymakers, and the media.

The Caravan raised awareness on climate justice, just transition, energy and food systems, while strengthening collaboration among civil society actors. Climate walks, sensitization programs, capacity-building workshops, and policy engagement were carried out, with Declaration Papers submitted to government authorities.

Over 100 participants were mobilized, with strong youth and women participation. The Caravan strengthened advocacy, increased public awareness, and reinforced Nigeria’s contribution to Africa’s collective climate justice movement ahead of COP30.
