The Lagos State Governor, Babajide-Sanwo Olu, has launched ‘Trees from Art’ campaign in schools.
This is in a bid to actualise the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the State.
Creative Youth Community Development Initiative (CYCDI) created ‘Trees From Art-TfA’ in partnership with the Lagos State Government and the delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria (AHK Nigeria), to champion climate education and the planting of 100,000 economic trees in Lagos Secondary and Technical Schools.
TfA was launched by Governor Sanwo-Olu, represented by Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tunji Bello, on April 7, 2022, at Nike Art Gallery, Lekki.
The governor commended the initiative, and called on stakeholders, environmentalists, and all young persons to join in effort to make the environment and the world safe, habitable, and green.
The CYCDI CEO and Project Director, Foluke Michael said that the Climate Action campaign began in January 2020 with Solution 17 for Climate Action in Africa (CAA).
The project was designed to spark creativity among young people in building the desired future through Climate enterprises; the goal is to promote the natural environment, Green Entrepreneurs and prosperity in different communities.
The project, which produced 17 Climate Enterprises and 17 Climate Art, was launched by United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed on September 25, 2020.
