Climate change is driving floods, heatwaves, and food insecurity in rural Nigeria. This community-led climate action project will restore 250 hectares of degraded land and plant 50,000 indigenous trees while training 120 smallholder farmers and 50 youth climate volunteers. By reducing carbon emissions, improving soil health, and strengthening local climate resilience, we protect 1,250 people on the frontline of climate change.
Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, deforestation, and soil erosion threaten rural livelihoods in southeastern Nigeria. Smallholder farmers face crop losses, declining incomes, and food insecurity. Biodiversity is at risk, while floods and land degradation increase carbon emissions. Urgent, locally-led climate action is needed to restore ecosystems, protect vulnerable communities, and fight climate change.
We will restore 250 hectares through reforestation, agroforestry, and sustainable land management. Planting 50,000 indigenous trees, training 120 farmers in climate-smart agriculture, and engaging 50 youth climate volunteers ensures measurable carbon reduction, biodiversity protection, and strengthened community climate resilience. Community-led monitoring and environmental education guarantee long-term ecosystem restoration.
Restoring 250 hectares will sequester carbon, reduce erosion, and protect biodiversity. 120 smallholder farmers and 50 youth volunteers will continue conservation efforts, creating a sustainable, scalable model of community-led climate action. Supporting Nigeria's frontline communities contributes directly to global climate change mitigation and strengthens resilience against floods, heatwaves, and food insecurity.
