Tree planting has become a ubiquitous feature of the environmental zeitgeist in a bid to slow the climate crisis by capturing carbon dioxide and restoring landscapes. Last year our team in partnership with Youth Sustainability Development Conference end the year with a hangout and also planted a tree. Both organizations decided to name the tree “IRETI” meaning “HOPE”

By planting the right tree in the right place for the right purpose, we can help repair ecosystems and halt the advance of climate change. We look forward to 2022 as we make more impact across the globe.

The search for a solution on how to help Nigeria achieve its net-zero emission targets by 2060 has made a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) call on the government to prioritise its implementation of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to capture the needs of marginalised people to promote climate action in local communities.

The group, which met in Abuja on Thursday, December 11, 2021, during a multi-stakeholder national dialogue organised by the Climate & Sustainable Development Network (CSDevNet) to x-ray the outcome of the just-concluded 26 thSession of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change…

What do you think?

COP26 is nominally about reducing carbon emissions, but in practice, it’s largely about cash and so far, there’s not nearly enough.

COP26 just wrapped up its third day, and the focus was on finance. But first, here’s what’s happened at the summit so far.

Ending deforestation: More than 100 countries signed a pledge to end deforestation by 2030, and a group of asset managers with $8.7 trillion under management committed to…

Day 1 and 2: started with a popular British pastime: queuing. About 2,000 delegates and journalists were kept in large crowds queuing outside the conference centre, there seemed to have been a lack of planning, as no attempt was made to encourage people to queue rather then simply press forward.

The Hope with mixed feelings is on our Leaders Speeches & some commitments at the High-Level Events: A lot of words but we need more actions rather than words to make COP26 a success; to safeguard our future, save humanity and the planet.

As the world struggles to manage its waste, we trained 20 young people in Lagos state and present alternative ways to recycle.

Nigeria struggles with an overflow of waste. Its waste disposal has become a major concern despite several attempts by successive governments and private organizations to fight against this.
