Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

The Environmental Sustainability and Resilience programme addresses environmental challenges, encourages climate resilience, and advocates for sustainable environmental policies.

  • • Climate Resilience Action Groups: Community action groups develop and implement climate resilience strategies and engage various stakeholders to address specific climate vulnerabilities.
    • National Climate Advocacy Campaign: Galvanizing collective action to address climate change impacts, especially on food security and economic stability.
    • Climate Policy Advocacy Network: A network dedicated to influencing climate-related policies and bridging the gap between stakeholders, government, and the public.

Environmental Justice Initiative

The Yar’Adua Foundation partnered with Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) to establish a community of practice around climate and environmental justice and build the capacity of activists in Niger Delta communities to engage policymakers and advocate for climate and environmental resilience in extractive communities.

The Foundation produced After Oil We Flourish! to explore the environmental and economic implications of a post-oil future. The video also captured the climate and environmental realities of vulnerable groups, especially in the Niger Delta while advocating for environmental justice and viable solutions for mitigation and adaptation to climate threats.
