The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich, and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet; and were inculcated to address the global challenges faced globally which include poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.

- The Green Campus Initiativewhich began at the Adeyemi College Campus, a college of Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria by Dr. Adenike Akinsemolu and later transitioned into the Green Institute was fostered by several collaborations. The initiative created Green ambassadors on college campuses across Nigeria, to positively impact how Nigerian youth incorporate green living into all elements of their lives. It is envisaged that the trained student leaders will systematically transform attitudes about environmentalism in Africa’s most populated and polluted country.
