tree STRATEGIC IMPACT

A Leading Voice for Climate Justice

We are a non-governmental, non-political organization born out of a vision to democratize climate education. Launching in 2013, ICCDI emerged to fill a void: the lack of youth representation in environmental governance. Over the last decade, we have grown into an expertly staffed institution, identifying key development issues affecting populations in Nigeria. Through creative dialogues and innovations, we present African solutions on the global stage, challenging the status quo and demanding actionable results.

ICCDI Africa stands at the intersection of policy and people. Founded by young professionals, we recognized early on that resilience cannot be imported—it must be co-created.

tree OUR MANDATE

Guiding Principles of Change

Our strategic direction is governed by a singular focus: transforming the climate narrative from one of despair to one of actionable opportunity for African youth. We operate with precision to ensure every project aligns with this mandate.

Our Mission

To build a climate-smart generation and a sustainable effort in Africa by identifying local realities, engage relevant stakeholders, proffer sustainable solutions and present them on the global stage for actionable steps towards mitigating effects of climate change.

Our Vision

To create a climate-smart generation across Africa.

tree OUR ETHICAL COMPASS

Integrity in Every Action We Take

Building a climate-smart generation requires trust. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability. Whether interacting with international donors or local youth, we demonstrate unwavering integrity and a relentless drive for excellence in every project we execute.

Acting Sustainably

We act in a way that is sustainable for our organization and society. Our decisions take into account the needs of future generations.

Striving for Excellence

We aim to deliver the highest quality performance in everything we do. Through creativity and innovation, we seek to continuously improve.

Demonstrating Integrity

We are consistent and transparent in our decisions and actions. We fulfill our commitments and conduct ourselves in a way that is true to our vision.

tree HOW WE WORK

Empowering the Next Generation

Our work is structured around four key pillars. Through education and capacity building, we give youth the tools to lead. Through advocacy, we give them a voice. By networking, we amplify their impact. This is how we are building a climate-smart generation, one project at a time.

Policy and Advocacy

We engage directly with governments to shape climate-smart policies that protect the vulnerable.

Education, Training and Capacity Building

We provide the tools and knowledge needed to turn young people into skilled climate professionals.

Networking, Information & Communication

We use the power of social media to inform, connect, and mobilize a continent-wide audience.

Grassroots and Youth Engagement

We get our hands dirty. We work directly in local communities to implement tangible solutions.

tree COMMUNITY-FIRST ACTION

Building Global Alliances

We believe that no single organization can solve the climate crisis alone. By partnering with entities like UN Environment and local NGOs, we leverage collective strengths to deliver sustainable development across the continent.
