NCF and Ford Foundation Push for Plastic-Bag Charges to Fund Climate Initiatives in Nigeria

The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) and Ford Foundation are urging the Nigerian government to implement a policy mandating charges on plastic bags to finance climate projects. This initiative aims to involve youth in climate justice efforts through awareness campaigns and activities.

During a youth-focused event in Lekki, NCF emphasized the impact of climate change on Nigeria's environment, highlighting the need for grassroots engagement. The collaboration with Ford Foundation seeks to educate vulnerable communities, especially young people, on climate issues and sustainable practices.
