Policy and Advocacy
We take a system change approach to address the climate crisis through policy and advocacy. We focus on influencing structural and policy shifts that lead to adaptable and responsive solutions to the climate crisis. We develop high-impact projects and use the impact of these initiatives to influence policies, and advocate for responsive climate actions at the community level. We conduct grassroots participatory research, policy analysis, and capacity building for communities to recommend, review, and drive innovative solutions to respond equitably to the climate crisis. We integrate community insights into high-level advocacy, to drive responsive climate policies and also establish ourselves as the leading voice in Nigeria by serving as the bridge between the community and the government, ensuring that efforts are bottom-up and responsive to community needs.
EcoSciGen focuses on supporting policy implementation and initiatives that help indigenous communities reduce their vulnerability to climate risks. Our work in adaptation and resilience centres on advancing policies and practices that protect people, the environment, and their communities. We achieve this through grassroots research, knowledge exchange, and capacity building with communities, which informs our data analysis and policy recommendations.
