League of Queens International, a non-governmental organization has started planting 2,000 economic trees across public schools in Akwa Ibom State as part of efforts to tackle the impacts of climate change.

The organisation says it has also stepped up its efforts to encourage recycling and efficient garbage disposal in the state.

The group’s coordinator, Idongesit Alexander who made this known while addressing newsmen on “Gender and Climate Change” in Uyo, the state capital, said that the goal was to plant over 2,000 trees within a year.

Idongesit said that to complete the task, there will be a need for collaboration between the public and corporate sectors, as well as civil society organizations, adding that three Climate Change Action Groups had been established to oversee tree-planting initiatives, advocate for proper waste management and keep an eye on how citizens, communities and the government are acting in relation to national and international climate change frameworks.
