Save The Climate PROJECT

The essence of the Save The Climate Project themed "Africa is heating up, what are you doing about it?" is a response to the global climate change concern. The Climate Change Conference held in Glasgow, November 2021 (COP 26) have vitalized this our action for African’s Climate. David Adefunmilayo (the poineer) being an oil and gas graduate who made a U-turn to climate activism, has gathered his resources and network to fight this climate crisis.

This pitch deck elucidates the problems, causes and effects of these crisis from the African context, shows our vision for the future, and adjoins you to partners with us.

Founder's story

David Adefunmilayo is an oil/gas graduate from Petroleum Training Institute and the University of Lagos. During his 400 level internship in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) - the regulator of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. He came to understand the concept of climate change, how fossil fuel constitutes a major effect to the crisis, and he experienced first-hand how flooding and many of its effects threatens the rights to happiness in his local communities. He then made a U-turn and started Efico edtech resources to help students with work place skills while finding his footing in driving climate change activism in Africa. He also joined many change-making communities to learn about this challenge and started designing an impact-driven roadmap.

Research

Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the "the greenhouse effect" 1 - warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth towards space

Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Long-lived gases that remain semi-permanently in the atmosphere and do not respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are described as "forcing" climate change. Gases such as water vapour, which respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are seen as "feedbacks"

Gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect include:

What if:

● All African businesses are eco-friendly.
● 90% of Africans are aware about this climate crisis.
● 1 in 5 of the African populace planted a tree.
● Gain buyings from non-Africans to advocate for Africa.
● 2 in 3 of the Africans adopt green transports and homes.

How can we use education, technology, community engagement and nature-based solutions to
● Mitigate the effects of climate change in Africa?
● Adapt these effects when the world is slow to respond?

We are leveraging business models to fight climate change.

■ We have created an ecosystem that helps young people with the resources for businesses that are targeted towards adaptation and mitigation.

We are raising awareness to local communities - especially across Africa

■ We have designed t-shirts that immediately make poeple aware about climate change and have trained ambassadors/activists to speak about it everywhere they go.
■ We have leveraged social media to recruit and inspire passonate student volunteers and activists, and gained communty-buyings and engagements.
■ We have utilized volunteers for awareness campaigns and gotten over 500 activists across the African landscape to join the movement.

We are recruiting passionate activists

■ We have also communicated this movement across the African borders and have inspired non-African activists to join the movement.

We are pushing for ratification of climate education into academic curriculum

We are utilizing students to get interdisciplinary skills for climate tech research

We are leveraging notable UN Environmental Days in the year for community actions and engagements.

We getting buy-ins from non-Africans to advocate for Africa.
