Eco-learn Nigeria has called for increased investment in climate education, describing it as key infrastructure for sustainable economic growth and climate resilience.
This is just as the organisation announced plans to double the reach of its climate literacy programme by 2027.
The organisation revealed it has trained 50 teachers across Lagos State who have, in turn, reached more than 2,000 students through classroom-based climate initiatives and hope to reach more in the next two years.
Eco-learn in a statement signed by its Team Lead, Kayode Ogunleye warned the nation faces compounding economic exposure from coastal erosion, food insecurity, energy poverty, and extreme weather events.
To mitigate these risks, he emphasized that capital allocations for roads, dams, energy projects, and flood-control infrastructure must be paired with structured climate education to build systemic, long-term resilience.
