Consultant – Lagos, Nigeria
I am an engineer working as a consultant in the built industry. I live in Lagos Nigeria which is regarded as the most populous city in Africa. Here, the effects of climate change, rural urban migration is very easy to observe. The activity level is so enormous and so is the damage seen. It’s not just sustainable. For how long will we continue to engage in our activities without paying attention to their effects? Recently, there was heavy rainfall in Lagos for about 7 hours. It was a near disaster situation. Cars were submerged half way and people had to be ferried in makeshift boats to their homes. It was predicted that Lagos would have been submerged in about 50 years time. My concern is how we can work to prevent this and how in particular we can reduce waste and damaging activity in the built sectors

GlobalConscience.World Ambassadors
We know how committed our Ambassadors are to being part of the solution to what scientists and economists consider to be one of the world’s most crucial problems. Which is why we provide each of our Ambassadors with information, guidance, and tools they can use to become effective climate change influencers on social media. Our Ambassadors help publicize the GlobalConscience.World message and share educational resources any way they can.
They use their individual skills to educate others and show them what each of us can do, as individuals, to fight global warming from our own homes. Our ultimate goal is to have a worldwide network of Ambassadors who communicate with each other and who can help put pressure on corporations and governments to do what is right, because we believe the changes the world needs will happen only with the support of concerned citizens in every country. And that means every one of our Ambassadors can know he or she is not only part of the solution, but a leader in helping to create a better future for everyone.
