Climate Change Mitigation

Climate change poses threat in our food security in Africa which has led so many into poverty and to ensure food security Africans needs to take climate action. In the wake of the impact of land degradation by human activities, such as deforestation, bush burning, use of inorganic fertilizer, tree logging, the soil fertility has been depleted as such Leda community in Kwali Area council of FCT is losing their means of livelihood and host of natural resources for survival.

The goal of this project is to replenish degraded land through capacity building and economic tree planting towards promoting environmental sustainability in FCT, training and building the capacity of the community members on the imperative of economic tree planting and establishment of tree nursery. This will reduce logging, charcoal production, and bush burning occasioned by hunting.

GCCYF planted 550 economic trees, while supporting the community to establish 3000 economic trees nursery, making a total of 3550 economic trees. It is also worth to mention that the seedlings for the nursery is provided by our organization.

This project is funded by Global Shapers Community and The Climate Reality Project.
