The Society of Planet and Prosperity, SPP, has called for collaboration in the building of climate resilient communities through education on climate action.
The foremost environmental NGO, presided by Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke, stated this on Monday in its X handle, @society_planet.
SPP said that the initiative to drive climate education to the grassroots, especially among the younger generation resonates with the quote by David Suzuki:
“Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world , we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it .”— David Suzuki
It disclosed that Last week, the Climate Champion Consortium (CCC) led by DCR Ambassadors (@dcr_ambassadors) in partnership with SPP kicked off a capacity-building campaign for educators in Yola, Adamawa State.
Teachers from GSS Bekaji & Army Day Secondary School began training on effectively delivering climate education using the climate education manual developed by SPP with education stakeholders including, @FMEnvCCNG of the @FMEnvng, @Cleantechhubng, @SustyVibes, @GlowInitiative, and @EcoCyclers, with @UniBristol support.
These weekly sessions (every Wednesday) will equip teachers with the tools to inspire their students.
At the end of the training, participants will earn climate education proficiency certificates.
“Join us in building climate-resilient communities through education!”
