Happy new year from the ONE team (we promise this is the last time we'll
say it)! 

A huge thank you for all your support last year in fighting extreme
poverty and preventable disease. You’ve browsed your Spotify Wrapped, but
what about [ [link removed] ]your 2022 Wrapped ONE edition? Check it out for a refresher
on what we did together and stay tuned for more opportunities to fight for
climate and economic justice!

At the end of last year we asked you which campaigns you’d taken action on
in 2022. 

Many of you took action around the world on climate change, the cost of
living, gender-based violence, racism, education, animal rights, and more.
You signed petitions, wrote letters to the editor of your local newspaper,
donated money, and wrote to your local and national governments about the
issues that matter to you. 💪🏿💪🏻💪🏾

Because democracy isn't a spectator sport. It's an active process that
needs all of us to participate to work.

One supporter from the UK said, “future generations will thank us, and
hopefully will continue to fight for human rights and the good of our
glorious planet.”

Dear world leaders,

Urgent action is needed to stop the global hunger crisis. Please fund

People changing the world: Adenike Oladosu

[1]Adenike Oladosu

How did you first become aware of the climate crisis and what motivated
you to get involved?

I first became aware of the climate crisis while studying agricultural
economics in Benue State, Nigeria. In 2018 I read a report by the
International Panel on Climate Change, which highlighted the need for
urgent action. Inspired by Greta Thunberg’s movement, [ [link removed] ]Fridays for the
Future, I initiated school strikes in Nigeria and by spreading the word
about climate justice, more and more young people across Africa have
joined.

In 2019, I launched the [ [link removed] ]I Lead Climate Action Initiative, a youth-led
movement that raises awareness about the impact of climate change on
conflict zones like Lake Chad and on African societies.

Can you tell us about the work you've done with communities in the Lake
Chad region? 

Lake Chad in central Africa has shrunk by 90% due to climate change,
causing violence in the region due to the scarcity of resources. I wanted
to draw the world’s attention to this issue. I raised awareness through
videos, articles, and by speaking at events. People started to reach out
to me for information, and a high-level conference on the issue took place
in the region earlier this year.

Through my organization, we are working to map out the regions of the lake
affected by conflict, as well as safe spaces. We’re also looking at where
changes in the environment are happening and are working on action plans
to resolve conflict in the region.

As women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate change, we
started an initiative that gives them access to resources like organic
fertilizer, seedlings, and other farming tools. We've supported thousands
of women to build resilience against the climate crisis and improve their
financial status. It's also moving us towards more sustainable and
climate-resilient food systems.

For young people who may be interested in becoming climate activists, can
you describe what your day-to-day looks like?

Activism can be time-consuming and requires you to focus on what you want
to achieve. Besides attending lots of meetings, I create space for the
things that keep transforming society. This year, I plan to campaign on
the impact of climate change on our upcoming Nigerian elections and
democracy. I’ll keep writing for my [ [link removed] ]blog and international outlets.
I’ll also make more videos around climate justice for my [ [link removed] ]YouTube
channel. 

Among other things, I’ll be preparing for 30 days of activism in the lead
up to International Women’s Day in March, and will continue my campaigning
on Lake Chad. I’ll be in Paris for the Change Now Conference and in
Germany for my residency as a fellow of the Panel on Planetary Thinking.

Which experience or achievement from your climate action work are you most
proud of?

It makes me proud when I see the changes we’re fighting for being
realized. One of the presidential candidates for the upcoming elections in
Nigeria said in a statement, “we will recharge Lake Chad.” This shows the
impact our campaign has had and an understanding that this is one of the
solutions towards creating long-lasting change in the region.

Also, when our initiative on empowering women through access to farming
resources puts  smiles on womens' faces, it gives me hope.

How do you stay motivated to do this work? And how do you like to spend
your time outside of work?

I stay motivated because I draw strength from other people doing great
things around the world. I also surround myself with positive people that
support me in what I do and give me good advice.
