About

Eco-Citizen Enugu is a climate-smart development initiative created to activate Statewide Eco-Citizens to accelerate community-based low-carbon impact investment programs that profit the people and the planet.

This initiative is designed to deploy real-time intergenerational green growth mechanisms that drive net-zero, climate-positive opportunities through people-centric, market-driven eco-policy impact platforms to guarantee the first bankable Circular Economy and Fiscal Efficiency Strategy for Sustainable Development in Enugu State.

Eco-Citizen Enugu prioritizes and amplifies citizen-driven climate action as the most scalable approach to ensuring low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive economies.

The program prioritizes the health of the planet and of the people, and regards these as interlinked. It highlights the fact that the green economy is interconnected with the circular economy, encouraging the shift to reduce consumption of natural resources to sustainable levels.

An inclusive economy incorporates and embraces modern models of economic development whose objective is to create prosperity within planetary boundaries.

Environmental responsiveness involves respecting the intrinsic value of nature and minimizing damage to the ecosystem.
Resource efficiency involves the use of fewer resources to conserve energy and the environment.
Community and Cultural Sensitivity involve recognizing and accepting the unique cultural values that each community contributes towards development.

Eco-Citizen Enugu is a Green4Ward Initiative powered by a Social Action Sustainable Impact Mobility Marketplace Strategy that engages, educates, empowers, and employs over 170,000 young, resourceful Eco-Citizens across 17 LGAs with Eco-Marshall jobs.

It incentivizes 1.7 million eco-volunteers, awards 17,000 Eco-nnovation grants, launches 17 Eco-tourism & Heritage Festivals, and secures rural energy efficiency solutions through sustainability investment partnerships that promote climate justice, ensure climate finance, and support ecosystem conservation in Enugu State.
