United Nations(UN) Sustainable Development Solution Network(SDSN) - Climate Actors Accelerator Programme (CAAP), 2022 Cohort: A Narrative Of The Community Development Service (CDS) Event Run Down In Enugu State

At exactly 10:0am on the 29th of July, 2022, the Enugu state representative of the UN sustainable development solution network (SDSN) - Igwesi Onyedikachi Victor and his team embarked on Community Development Service (CDS) in fulfillment of the requirement of the just concluded Climate Actors Accelerator Programme (CAAP) cohorts of 2022, which was a success

According to the state leader, the event witnessed lots of disappointments and surprises from the heads of chosen community(ies)/institution(s) whose reason was due to short term of notice

This voluntary programme was established by the SDSN to raise youths who would help spread the campaign on maintaining a clean and healthy environment through conserving nature and the ecosystem which is in consonance with the UN SDGs goal 7,11,13, 14 and 15 on renewable energy, clean cities, climate change, protection of life on land and protection of life below the water

This activity kicked off concurrently in two locations, Good Shepherd Anglican Nursery and Primary School, Independence Layout, Enugu North L.G.A, Enugu State and in Achara-Agu Nursery and Primary School, Nsukka L.G.A, Enugu State, both institution are in Nigeria. It was  championed by the leader and his deputy in those respective locations..

The teachers and headmistress were really excited and joyous together with the pupils over the knowledge impacted to them within some few minutes allotted to the leader and his deputy to speak to them

The message was loud and clear to everyone which is REDUCE waste disposal, WASTE should rather be RECYCLED and REUSED as the SOLUTION to ending CLIMATE CHANGE developments is to end POLLUTION...

With the responses received from these engaged, smiley, responsive, Intelligent and creative pupils, there's no doubt that FUTURE environmental actors who would help propagate the climate change mitigation gospel and promotion green environment has been raised
