Problem: CLIMATE CHANGE

Unique Selling Point: In the past, The Lagos State signed up to the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Groups’ Deadline 2020 programme in 2018. Under this programme, Lagos joined C40 Cities around the world in committing to the development and implementation of an inclusive and ambitious Climate Action Plan (CAP 2020-2050) in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, that will result in a zero-carbon Lagos by year 2050. Prior to its current work with C40, Lagos had developed a Climate Change Policy and Action Plan with support from United Nations Development Program (UNDP). As part of its CAP Programme, C40 Cities provided significant technical expertise to align the previously developed Climate Action Plan with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement to limit the global average temperature increase to below 1.50C. There are local innovators who have created awareness about climate change using conventional model such as awareness on the school assembly, printing and distribution of fliers in school, small group discussion among teachers. But the Unique things about this solution is the embedded VR technologies, the gamifying learning experience and an immersive learning environment that gives learners real life experience about the negative impact their actions could cause their environment and actions they need to take going forward.
