Climate Equality: A Planet for the 99% Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ashfaq Khalfan | Astrid Nilsson Lewis | Carlos Aguilar | Max Lawson | Safa Jayoussi | Jacqueline Persson | Nafkote Dabi | Sunil Acharya Corporate author: Oxfam International The world faces twin crises of climate breakdown and runaway inequality. The richest people, corporations and countries are destroying the world with their huge carbon emissions. Meanwhile, people living in poverty, those experiencing marginalization, and countries in the Global South are those impacted the hardest. Women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, people living in poverty and other groups experiencing discrimination are particularly at a disadvantage. The consequences of climate breakdown are felt in all parts of the world and by most people, yet only the richest people and countries have the wealth, power and influence to protect themselves. With that power comes huge responsibility.If no action is taken, the richest will continue to burn through the carbon we have left to use while keeping the global temperature below the safe limit of 1.5°C, destroying any chance of ending poverty and ensuring equality. The world needs an equal transformation. Only a radical reduction in inequality, transformative climate action and fundamentally shifting our economic goals as a society can save our planet while ensuring wellbeing for all.

Promoting sustainable development in Nigeria: via civic education (Journal of education and practice, vol. 5, no 34) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Ajibola A. Lukman | Habida Audu Corporate author: International Institute for Science, Technology and Education Nothing in this world is so powerful as an idea whose time has come. In the face of ethical knowledge, skill disposition and sustainable development in Nigeria, civic education assumed central position. Idea of civic education in Nigerian curriculum is so powerful to the extent that each young Nigerian deserves its knowledge. On this basis, this paper describes civic education as an underpinning factor for individual and social development of our nation. The paper analyzes the fabric between civic education and social development towards blending and interfacing local wisdom with global knowledge, values and skills, which will develop the young Nigerian to become a citizen of this country as well as a citizen of the global village. The paper points to the fact that civic education is central to shaping attitudes and social interaction and both are critical to addressing issues surrounding sustainable development. To this end, the paper concludes that sustainable development requires civic knowledge, civic skills and civic disposition. It is therefore recommended that civic education should be seen as an engine for development in which states, individuals, communities, and businesses partake in providing sustainable development.
