About

Eco-Citizen South South 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. The goal is to guarantee the first bankable circular economy and fiscal efficiency strategy for sustainable development in South South States.

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

The programme prioritises the health of the planet and of the people, recognising these as interlinked. It emphasises that the green economy is closely tied to the circular economy, highlighting the need to reduce the consumption of natural resources to sustainable levels. As an inclusive economy, it incorporates and embraces modern models of development with the objective of creating 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 South South is a Green4Ward Initiative powered by a Social Action Sustainable Impact Mobility Marketplace Strategy that engages, educates, empowers, and employs over 1.22 million young, resourceful Eco-Citizens across 122 LGAs through Eco-Marshall jobs.

The initiative incentivises 12.2 million eco-volunteers, awards 122,000 Eco-nnovation grants, and launches 95 eco-tourism and heritage festivals, while securing rural energy efficiency solutions through sustainability investment partnerships. These efforts promote climate justice, ensure climate finance, and strengthen ecosystem conservation across South South States.
