#ClimateEldersNG are change makers aged 50 and above who work on climate action, plastic pollution and environmental protection in Nigeria. We believe that this population group possesses valuable experience and wisdom that young people can benefit from even in this age of climate dread.

This campaign is an offshoot of TEAP’s Local Voices Network Climate Conversations which set up intra and inter-generational dialogues with youths and elders in Nigeria, the US, and the UK currently experiencing eco-distress.
