International Center for Accelerated Development (ICAD) hosted a one
Day Plant for the Planet Academy (1st Tree Planting Academy in
Nigeria) on the 28th February 2013 at the Infant Jesus
Academy Rukuba Road Jos, Plateau State Nigeria. Plant-for-the-Planet was founded 2007 by the then nine years old Felix
Finkbeiner with an aim to planting one Million trees in each country of the world
as a sign for climate justice. In Germany the millionths tree was planted in
2010 and children in more than 91 countries are exalted by the idea. Already
2260 children were exercised as ambassadors.
ICAD brought together children
age 10 to 12 for an opportunity to learn important facts about the causes
and effects of the climate crisis and to become peer educators, these trained children become educated
as ambassadors for climate justice and are members of a worldwide network of committed children.
During the academy the children planted their first trees and organised their own events to sensitize other children and
adults on climate justice topics and to motivated them to get involved with
it as well. All educated ambassadors for climate justice got large information
and background materials. The first ever Academy was a 1-day event with 55 of the 60 invited children from 10 schools participated at the event.
