Rising Green: Voices for Climate Justice in Nigeria

Witness the resilience and power of grassroots activism!

"Communities Restoring the Land: Rising Green" takes you to the heart of Nigeria, where the African Activist for Climate Justice (AACJ) project, supported by Oxfam and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, is transforming communities and changing policy to combat the climate crisis.

This documentary is a powerful showcase of synergy and success, proving that local action can drive national change.

What You Will Discover in the Film:
Restoring Hope in Nasarawa: See the inspiring, community-led land restoration project by the YMCA, which involved planting thousands of oil palm seedlings, turning once-degraded land into a "forest of hope" and securing future livelihoods.

Policy and Resilience Building: Learn how partners like GIFSEP are working with state governments in Benue to develop tools like the Climate Risk Register (CRR), helping communities and farmers mitigate the threat of flood-related disasters and integrate climate-informed decisions into official policy.

The Power of Partnership: Hear directly from the activists and community members about how the AACJ project has strengthened their capacity, amplified their voices, and created a unified front for climate advocacy.

A Unified Movement: Witness the collective impact of organizations like Natural Justice, CsDEVNet, PACJA, and others as they push for lasting systemic change, from legal reform to the commissioning of new climate action centers.

This is a story of empowerment, policy triumph, and the unwavering commitment of Nigerians fighting for a sustainable and just future.
