A
s World Environment Day (WED) draws near, One Million Tree Initiative has partnered with CE Power Solutions, GSR 360 and SMP Media Group to plant trees in Lagos.
WED, established by the United Nations Environment Programme, is held yearly on June 5 to raise awareness about global ecosystem threats.
This year’s theme, ‘Land restoration, Desertification and Drought Resilience’ focuses on the protection and revival of ecosystems worldwide. It also marks the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.
Experts recommend planting trees as an effective way to combat climate change issues like desertification and erosion. Trees provide numerous benefits, including air filtration, food production and habitat creation for various species. They also act as windbreaks and help regulate temperatures.
To contribute to efforts at mitigating climate change and creating a sustainable environment, One Million Tree Initiative, CE Power Solutions, GSR 360 and SMP Media Group are collaborating on a tree planting drive at Omole Housing Estate, Phase 1, Ikeja, Lagos State.
