The Education 4 Adaptation Accelerator

Incubating local schools in Ghana into green schools; Getting schools to be climate-ready.

What are we About?

The journey towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality education) has been hindered by unforeseen pandemic to harsh climatic impacts, necessitating innovative and groundbreaking solutions to transform our education systems and adapt them to the evolving environment.

Our solution is to green curriculums & schools. We aim to make schools green hubs of education with a current focus on plastics & food systems. We implement a classroom-based approach combined with practical engagement. We have collaborated with #BreakFreeFromPlastic to support the integration of plastic education in Ghana’s education curriculum. Practical activity involves supporting partner schools in eliminating single-use plastics, replacing them with eco-friendly alternatives. We plan to expand the curriculum to include food systems, support school caterers to transform school menus & partner with market women to localize our food education and advocate for better School feeding program for Ghanaian Public schools.

The Cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action. We know it for climate change. It is, of course, true also for education.
