It is essential not to waste water or food, to properly dispose of your waste, and to embrace the three Rs of sustainability, which are to reduce, reuse, recylcle, and everything else that contributes to climate change.
"Everybody has observed it is getting hotter. Some people are aware that flooding is also a danger, but it is getting worse, not only in Nigeria."
Strategic partners were Junior Chamber International (University of Ibadan Chapter), Food Army Nigeria, Green Mind International, and the SDGs Action Network.
The walk involved over one hundred participants who engaged the public in one-on-one sensitization about the effects of climate change and the need to take responsibility for different changes in climatic conditions.
Placards carrying the message in English and Yoruba were shared and used to communicate the effect of climate change to passersby.
Many road users, marketmen, and women in the city were reached out to about the need to understand the implications of climate change on agriculture and the Earth in general.
The walk came to an end at Emmanuel College, U.I Area of Ibadan, after three hours of educating people about the importance of climate action and education.
"Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 17 call for partnership to achieve the goals. These feats are impossible to achieve on your own. We appreciate our volunteers, partners, supporters, sponsors, and security operatives who supported us till the end of the event to ensure our safety", Olutayo added.
