Sterling One, British Commission Host Stakeholders On Climate Action

Sterling One Foundation (SOF) in partnership with the British High Commission, organised a media dialogue to promote support for effective communication for development and raising awareness on critical issues with priority for Climate Action.

The media dialogue was in commemoration of the International Day of Climate Action for 2022, with the theme: ‘The Transition to a Circular Economy- Partnerships to Solve Pressing Challenges’  in Lagos.

Speaking to participants at the event, chief executive officer (CEO) of Sterling One Foundation, Peju Ibekwe said: “there has never been a more urgent need to revive damaged ecosystems than now and we need urgent action to address these pressing issues. We must shift from harming the planet to healing it.”

Ibekwe said: “unfortunately, in Nigeria, we still experience rampant ignorance, apathy, carelessness and lack of follow through when it comes to issues and conversations around climate action and clear understanding by the common man.

“The role of the media in communicating this effectively, breaking down the implications to all levels of government and society, especially setting the agenda and driving much needed action across all realms in the society is critical, hence this timely dialogue.”
