RIF Climate Action Club
Nurturing Eco-Conscious Leaders for a Sustainable Future
Overview
RIF Climate Action Club is part of the Foundation's broader environmental development programme, which aims to educate and empower young minds across Warri Kingdom with an understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and cultivate environmentally sustainable practices within their schools, homes, and communities.
The club, already functional in 8 schools and in partnership with key climate action-focused organisations, serves as a platform for member students to engage in environmental education workshops, clean-up campaigns, tree planting exercises, climate literacy projects, and recycling drives.
Our Vision
Through the RIF Climate Action Club, we nurture the next generation of eco-conscious leaders committed to protecting their communities and natural resources. By working with schools, partner organisations, and dedicated volunteers, we foster a culture of environmental stewardship that will shape a more sustainable Warri Kingdom and beyond.
