Description
[edit]The world is facing an unprecedented environmental crisis in the form of climate change. Rising temperatures, an increasing frequency of natural disasters, and the loss of biodiversity are just some of the dire consequences of our rapidly changing planet. Nigeria has not seen much discourse on the pressing issue of climate change and its effects on the environment.
This training and edit-a-thon aim to bring attention to the importance of addressing climate change and protecting the environment. By raising awareness and encouraging a shift in attitudes towards environmental concerns, we hope to amplify the voices of individuals in Nigeria through increased online visibility and participation in creating and editing contents.
