Nigerians have always been at the receiving end of several forms of disasters ranging from flooding, soil and Coastal erosion due to climate change.
Citizens have become increasingly vulnerable to these disasters due to an under protected and expansive environment.
The federal government has tried to mitigate these occurrences across the country but its efforts have not had much impact as most Nigerians take issues of climate change with a pinch of salt and do not take precautions.
A group of CSOs came together to ensure measures like educating children in primary and secondary schools are put in place so future Generations can become climate champions.
Leaders of various Civil Society Organisations agree that there is an urgent need for Nigerians to adhere to framework convention on climate change, Paris agreements.
One sure way to achieve this is by supporting climate change education as a way of encouraging societal response to the cause.
They also wanted to be a part of curriculum in both primary and secondary schools to make students understand that climate is not just a threat but a reality.
The group are optimistic that with right measures in place future generations of leaders will love, protect and respect the Earth.
