With Nigeria billed to hold elections in 2015, we also deployed all resources at our disposal in mobilising Nigerians to pile up pressure on their political aspi- rants until climate change, poverty elim- ination and renewable energy transition become embedded not just in their manifestoes, but as fundamental human rights necessitating urgent attention of all.
2014 saw us putting on the front burner climate action bordering on climate- smart agriculture, re-shoring the econ- omy, sustainable land planning, alterna- tives to the car-culture, energy sobriety, eco-housing, ethical finance, social and environmental conversion of manufac- turing, ethical consumption, a new share of wealth and work, community support, waste reduction and recycling, preservation of common goods such as water, soil, and forests.With our platform providing credible
avenue to think globally while acting locally, we provided ways for everyone everywhere in Nigeria to get involved by talking, texting and tweeting their way into influencing the debates and outcomes that border on creat- ing a low carbon future and sustainable Nigeria.
