Students from 20 schools in Enugu and Nsukka planted 400 trees to commemorate World Environment Day (WED) 2026 and promote environmental sustainability.

The celebration formed part of the pilot phase of the climate education campaign, “Rooted in Action: Growing Green Generation,” in Enugu State.

The initiative was organised by the Office of the Senior Adviser to the Governor on Climate Policy and Sustainable Development.

It was implemented in collaboration with the Office of the First Lady and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.

UNICEF Enugu Field Office provided funding support for the programme.
