CGWF's Dr. Ike Anosike Advocates Climate Education Reform

Dr. Ike Anosike, the Executive Director of the Climate and Green World Foundation (CGWF), called for the integration of climate change education into Nigeria's school curriculum during sensitization lectures held in Makurdi. He emphasized that the education system must prepare children and young people to understand climate risks and build resilient communities.

Anosike highlighted the far-reaching implications of climate change on public health, agriculture, food security, and biodiversity. He advocated for a comprehensive curriculum that includes climate science, adaptation strategies, and environmental protection.

Anosike stressed the importance of teaching students about climate-related disasters and disaster risk reduction. He also suggested equipping students with practical skills in waste management and sustainable practices.

To promote practical environmental action, he encouraged schools to establish environmental clubs and engage in tree-planting exercises. Anosike's team, along with teachers and students, participated in tree planting at Christ Anglican College in Makurdi, reinforcing the need for climate education across relevant subjects.
