GAAF Climate Change Awareness
GAAF Climate Action in schools across Nigeria
In our mission to combat Climate Change, GAAF aims to take practical steps with GAAF Mission 2030 in school communities across Nigeria. This Mission launched on Earth Day 22 April 2023. Trees are a vital resource for rural poor communities in Africa. They provide shade and shelter, help to prevent soil erosion, restore degraded land, and can be a valuable source of food and nutrition tackling poverty and improving the lives of local communities however deforestation has a detrimental impact on our climate.
Tree planting is one of the most effective ways to mitigate the effects of climate change. A single mature tree can remove upwards of 25kgs of harmful greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration might not be the main reason why African families plant on their small farms, trees offer a ‘win-win’ for African communities – as rural poor families, while least responsible, are amongst the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. GAAF Climate Action involves planting a tree in every school we visit. Commencing 2024, GAAF will provide Recycle Bins for plastics (e.g. plastic bottles, water sachets, biscuits wrappers) & papers in school communities.
