Environmental sustainability and climate action

The story

With JNI and the American University of Nigeria, DISCOD led a tree-planting project in Yola South to protect the environment and get communities involved in the fight against climate change.

Climate change and environmental sustainability are among DISCOD's key thematic areas. In line with this commitment, DISCOD — in collaboration with JNI and the American University of Nigeria (AUN) — carried out a tree-planting project in Yola South Local Government Area.

Trees improve air quality, reduce excessive heat, prevent soil erosion and provide habitats for birds and other wildlife. They also provide shade, beautify our surroundings and contribute to a healthier environment for everyone.

DISCOD calls on community members — especially young people and women — to plant and care for trees in their homes, schools and communities. Planting a tree is a simple but powerful step towards a greener, healthier and more sustainable future for Yola South and beyond.
