While others might dream of toppling regimes by storming the barricades, this soft-spoken Nigerian with a fire in her eyes is leading a quieter revolution: a green one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her path to climate activism was not sparked by televised reports of environmental decline, but by witnessing the years-long <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/4\/8\/armed-groups-kill-dozens-in-nigerias-benue-state\">conflict<\/a> over land in Benue State, in Nigeria\u2019s North Central region, while she was pursuing her undergraduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clashes between farmers and cattle herders have become a grim reality <a href=\"https:\/\/unsdg.un.org\/latest\/stories\/climate-crisis-nigeria-un-fosters-dialogue-between-farmers-and-cattle-herders-over\">exacerbated<\/a> by climate change. The once-fertile land is succumbing to intense heat and flooding, displacing families and leaving a trail of loss and despair in its wake. Yet, amidst the violence and finger-pointing, Adenike saw a different narrative unfolding while she was a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were these terrible clashes and people on both sides were losing everything,\u201d she recalls. \u201cBut what struck me most was how few people connected the dots. They saw the conflict as purely ethnic or religious. When in reality, it was the climate, this invisible hand, that was squeezing the life out of our land and pitting communities against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-witness-to-activist\">From witness to activist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The seed for her activism had been planted: \u201cI saw that there was a need for me to take action. I began by asking myself what I could do differently. How could I champion climate action in my community and also involve more young people to begin to take action?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adenike began her new life as a climate activist with a passion for awakening similar zeal in young people across Nigeria and beyond. Her journey from an undergraduate witnessing the harrowing impacts of climate change in Benue to the founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ileadclimateaction.org\/\">ILeadClimate<\/a> initiative is a story of resilience, determination, and a fierce commitment to empowering women in the fight against environmental degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Adenike\u2019s leadership, ILeadClimate has become a strong movement in Nigeria, instilling in youth a passion for environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adenike emphasises the urgency of the present and stresses the need to spread the gospel of climate action far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe logic is simple,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you don\u2019t understand the problem, you can\u2019t solve it. That\u2019s why we\u2019re laser-focused on climate education for young people. We\u2019ve taken our message to schools, community gatherings and anywhere else we can find an ear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to see the growing number of people championing climate education in Nigeria and elsewhere,\u201d she adds, a hint of pride in her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe succeeded in bringing more young people to the climate justice space. Now we have many young people who want to do something for their communities and countries as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"hide-expand block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240308_Oladosu-Adenike-at-COP28_provided-by-Oladosu-Adenike-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240308_Oladosu-Adenike-at-COP28_provided-by-Oladosu-Adenike-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240308_Oladosu-Adenike-at-COP28_provided-by-Oladosu-Adenike-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240308_Oladosu-Adenike-at-COP28_provided-by-Oladosu-Adenike-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"Oladosu Adenike standing in front of a board at COP28\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Oladosu Adenike\u00a0at COP28 (Image courtesy of Oladosu Adenike)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240308_Oladosu-Adenike-at-COP28_provided-by-Oladosu-Adenike-scaled.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"434 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1739\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The agricultural economics graduate has carried her message onto the global stage, including the World Economic Forum. In December 2019, she attended the COP25 UN Climate Change Conference in Spain as a youth diplomat and delivered a <a href=\"https:\/\/theecologist.org\/2019\/dec\/09\/youth-strikers-march-climate-justice\">speech<\/a> that shone a light on the harsh impacts of climate change in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closer to home, Adenike has nudged Nigerian policymakers towards more climate-conscious decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs my voice gained traction,\u201d she says, \u201cI found myself engaged in discussions surrounding Nigeria\u2019s Nationally Determined Contributions\u201d \u2013 referring to Nigeria\u2019s climate action plan under the Paris Agreement, which is due for its next revision in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-did-you-know alignleft block--did-you-know\"><p class=\"block--did-you-know__title\">Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)<\/p><div class=\"block--did-you-know__content\"><p>The Paris Agreement requires every signatory party to commit to emissions reductions and climate adaptation targets. Submitted every five years, a party\u2019s NDCs are expected to become more ambitious over time.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigeria is Africa\u2019s largest economy and most populous country, but it also holds the grim distinction of leading the world in deforestation. In 2012, the government <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabledevelopment.un.org\/content\/documents\/1023nigerianationalreport.pdf\">stated<\/a> that Nigeria had the highest rate of deforestation in Africa, and the highest loss of primary forest globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, the country&#8217;s revised NDC included a <a href=\"xhttps:\/\/climateactiontracker.org\/countries\/nigeria\/targets\/\">projection<\/a> of 2030 business-as-usual emissions that was half of what it projected in its first NDC submission of 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This update did not materialise in a vacuum. It reflects the advocacy of climate activists like Adenike, whose efforts contributed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate-laws.org\/document\/nigeria-s-climate-change-act_5ef7\">passage<\/a> of Nigeria\u2019s Climate Change Bill, which was signed into law by the then-president Muhammadu Buhari in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the bill\u2019s passage marks a victory, Adenike remains cautious: \u201cThe bill is now law, but we need to see more action from the government in terms of its implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Empowering women and protecting the environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adenike proudly identifies as an ecofeminist, recognising the intersection between climate activism and women\u2019s rights. For her, the label carries the weight of Africa\u2019s climate reality, where women bear the brunt of water scarcity. In 2014, the UN reported that women in Sub-Saharan Africa spent a staggering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/en\/news\/stories\/2014\/3\/collecting-and-carrying-water-burdensome-reality-for-women\">40 billion hours<\/a> annually fetching water. This was equivalent to one year\u2019s worth of labour by the entire workforce of France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fact resonates deeply with Adenike. \u201cI personally experienced this burden,\u201d she reveals. \u201cI know first-hand how it consumes our time, which is why I identify as an ecofeminist. The water crisis disproportionately impacts women, forcing them to trek for very long distances. This hinders our self-empowerment and steals opportunities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">Women have a lot to give \u2013 we cannot solve the climate crisis without women<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\">Oladosu Adenike<\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through her initiative, Adenike has equipped thousands of women with the tools to conserve their environment. She envisions a future where women, armed with their indigenous knowledge, are recognised as pivotal players in tackling food security, ecosystem restoration, and broader environmental challenges across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve equipped over 10,000 women with the necessary resources \u2013&nbsp;organic fertilisers, indigenous seedlings, and tools \u2013&nbsp;to become game-changers, channelling their traditional knowledge towards environmental conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWomen have a lot to give,\u201d she adds. \u201cWe cannot solve the climate crisis without women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A message for aspiring changemakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the challenges of being a woman climate activist, Adenike says she initially struggled to establish a platform. Undeterred, she created her own space and now dabbles as an environmental reporter, leveraging her blog (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenandcrisis.com\/\">www.womenandcrisis.com<\/a>) and YouTube channel to amplify her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"105795\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial constraints and the need for broader outreach remain challenges, but Adenike is optimistic: \u201cI believe that more and more people will wake up to the vital role of female climate activists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wants young women entering the climate fray to know that persistence matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery action, however seemingly small, contributes to the whole,\u201d she emphasises. \u201cStart locally, find ways to raise your profile, and utilise social media to amplify your efforts. Remember, the real impact of your work is what truly resonates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep striving, keep dreaming. We are all working together towards a more sustainable, equitable future. The future we envision is within reach, and each action, each voice, is important. That is my message.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After witnessing the violent impacts of warming, Oladosu Adenike started a national movement empowering young people to
