Nigeria: Engaging youth in climate change mitigation

A non-governmental organisation, Sustain Africa Earth Initiative (SAEI), last week held its annual programme targeting climate change mitigation.

According to the organiser, SAEL’s goal essentially, is to raise 100,000 climate change youth ambassadors that would be trained on the basics of climate change, adaptation and mitigation, using a unified training module distilled from the UNCClearn module.

The convener of the programme, Mrs Fadera Adebimpe Williams, stated that the strategy is ‘train the trainer’ model, where about 100 people have been trained, with the hope that each of them will train five people each, thus providing 500 climate change ambassadors.
