This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re launching Project #RootsAndRoutes under the WEF Equal Air Collaborative!

Air pollution causes approximately 2,800 premature deaths annually in Accra, heavily impacting our youth.

Together with UrbanBetter, we are partnering with schools & local communities to turn air quality data into youth-led climate action through urban greening and health walks.

Students at Christa Valley International School explored how plastic waste can be reused during the Plastic for Value Workshop.

From turning water bottles into stationery holders to discussing recycling, the session showed how small shifts in thinking can build lasting habits.

[Global Shapers Accra 🇬🇭 @GlobalShapersAC]

Schools and students generate a considerable amount of plastic waste daily. Introducing students to simple ways of reusing these materials helps them see waste differently and understand how small actions can create value.

What if Ghana turned plastic waste into school desks and jobs?

♻️ Senegal’s Deekali Project transformed 5,000+ tonnes of plastic into 2,200 desks while reducing open burning.
The opportunity exists here too. Waste-to-value can work at scale.
