Ahead of World Environment Day (June 5), SustyVibes has announced a series of events and activities to commemorate the day in Nigeria. The theme for this year’s World Environment Day is “Only One Earth” and is focused on the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature and our possibilities for shifting to a greener lifestyle through both policies and individual choices.
Since 2016, SustyVibes has been at the forefront of sustainability advocacy, especially through pop-culture for young people and local communities in Nigeria. And for the first time, the organization will be exploring the role of humour in climate action and related emotions in addition to a film screening, and sensitization programmes in markets, schools and public spaces in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Ogun and Ibadan.
