In the video, Tobechukwu, the co-founder of Lincgreen Prospects, passionately discusses the "Look Beyond Oil" initiative, aimed at redirecting the hearts and minds of young people in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This region's heavy dependence on oil has led to significant environmental and socio-economic challenges. Highlighting the dangers of oil dependency, Tobechukwu emphasizes the urgent need to push for an alternative economy, especially at the grassroots level.
"Look Beyond Oil" is more than just a campaign; it is a call to action. Tobechukwu outlines the importance of investing in research and development to uncover sustainable and viable economic alternatives. By fostering innovation and supporting local communities, Lincgreen Prospects aims to balance both mitigation and adaptation requirements in the face of climate change. The initiative seeks to empower the youth, providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to transition towards greener and more sustainable livelihoods.
This message was delivered at a hybrid conference hosted by Lincgreen Prospects and the Janikoba Foundation, "with wedonthavetime" as our major media partner.
