World Environment Day

World Environment Day, 2023

To commemorate World Environment Day, AWIFCA organized a sensitization visit to the National Environmental Standards Regulation Agency (NESREA), where we presented our maiden research with the title: CLIMATE CHANGE AND POVERTY: AN EMPIRICAL SURVEY OF PLASTIC DEBRIS

USAGE AS FUEL FOR COOKING IN THE TRADITIONAL STOVE IN KANO, NIGERIA.

The research was able to showcase how the lack of access to clean cooking technologies prompted a community to use plastic debris as an alternative source of fuel for cooking.

Addressing the problem of plastic pollution and speeding up access to clean fuels requires a systematic change in the actions across the life cycle that address its root causes rather than its symptoms.

We believe the National Government can be an effective partner to support the transition to clean fuel technology and a new plastic economy.

Ending plastic pollution is critical to the success of both NATURE and CLIMATE
