2026 begins with clarity, purpose, and renewed resolve.
Our Executive Director, Adetunji Lam-Adesina (@tunjilam), sets the tone for the year with a Welcome Address that reflects where we are coming from and where we are boldly headed as a Foundation.
This address speaks to our collective responsibility, our growing impact, and the deeper work required to build climate-resilient communities and a more sustainable Africa.
As we step into this year, we do so grounded in action, guided by vision, and committed to outcomes that truly matter.
📖 Read. Reflect. Walk the journey with us.

Technology continues to open new possibilities for environmental sustainability, but innovation alone may not be enough. The people, knowledge and experiences within our communities also matter.
We believe meaningful conversations are part of building a sustainable future. What role should communities play in shaping and sustaining environmental solutions?

“Opportunities to accelerate action have never been more abundant.”
@UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for stronger climate pledges & wider use of proven policies as the world is set to breach the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit of global warming.

Recycling matters, but what if we’re focusing too much on what happens after waste is created and not enough on preventing it in the first place?
The products we make, the things we buy, the way we use them and how quickly we discard them all shape our environmental footprint.
A more sustainable future requires us to look beyond recycling and rethink our relationship with consumption. Can we reduce what we waste, reuse what we can and make more responsible choices from the start?
So, is recycling enough, or do we need to rethink the entire cycle?

Our soil is one of Earth's greatest reservoirs of biodiversity, and it's more important than you think.
Yet human activities pose a threat to soil biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides.

Sustainability doesn’t always require big changes or expensive alternatives. Sometimes, it starts with the little things we do every day.
Using what we already have, avoiding unnecessary waste, reusing items where possible and being more mindful of what we buy are all ways to make a difference.
The goal isn’t to get everything right overnight. It’s to make better choices, one habit per time.
Small steps count. What sustainable habit have you made part of your everyday life?

Climate change affects how we live, what we eat, how we earn a living and the future of our communities. Yet, some important conversations still need more attention.
From flooding and food security to waste management, climate jobs and the support young innovators need, there is so much worth discussing.
Young Africans have ideas, experiences and perspectives that should be part of shaping the continent’s climate future.
So, what climate issue do you think young Africans should be talking about more?

The world is set to exceed 1.5°C of warming.
Even if the temperature comes back down, the 🌎 may never be quite the same.
But we must not abandon the 1.5°C goal.
The higher & longer the global temperature rise, the greater the risks.

Soil is where our food begins.
Healthy soils provide the nutrients plants need to grow and support biodiversity. But pollution and degradation are putting this vital resource under pressure.

Food connects us all, but a sustainable food future requires more than producing enough to eat. It means protecting the land that feeds us, supporting responsible farming, reducing food waste and making nutritious food accessible to more people.
Every stage matters; from how we grow and transport food to how we consume and dispose of what remains.
This World Food Day, let’s reflect on the choices we make and the food systems we support.
A better food future begins with all of us.

Circularity is essential for a sustainable planet.
But what does circularity really mean?

Climate action isn't just about avoiding a worse future. It's about building a better one.
A world where clean energy is affordable, the air is safer to breathe and communities are better protected from extreme weather is within reach.
That's what #ClimateAction can deliver: unep.org/topics/climate-acti…

Across Africa, young people are finding new ways to tackle environmental challenges, from turning waste into valuable resources to developing community-led climate solutions.
Their work is a reminder that innovation doesn’t always begin with big budgets or sophisticated technology. Sometimes, it starts with a problem someone decides not to ignore.
What these young changemakers need is more than applause. They need access to funding, mentorship, partnerships and opportunities to take their ideas further.
Africa’s climate future is already taking shape in the hands of those willing to build it.
Let’s recognise the changemakers, support their ideas and help their solutions go further.

The future of environmental sustainability should not be discussed without the young people who will live it.
Young people bring fresh perspectives, bold questions and ideas that deserve to be heard. But beyond listening to them, we must create spaces where they can learn, contribute, challenge existing approaches and help shape the solutions our communities need.
At Eleven Eleven Twelve Foundation, we believe meaningful environmental action begins with informed minds and inclusive conversations.
When young people have a seat at the table, the conversation becomes richer, and the possibilities for change grow.

A sustainable food system is about more than what ends up on our plates. It starts with how food is grown, harvested, transported, sold, consumed and what happens to what we leave behind.
It means supporting responsible farming, reducing food waste, making nutritious food accessible and ensuring that the way we feed ourselves today does not compromise tomorrow.
But what does this look like in our everyday lives and across our communities? What does a sustainable food system look like to you?

Yes. African cities can grow sustainably by prioritizing compact development, public transport, efficient infrastructure, recycling, renewable energy, and better waste management. Planning growth early can reduce congestion, pollution, resource use,

Climate resilience is not built by one group alone.
Governments must create the right policies and infrastructure. Businesses must operate responsibly. Communities must be involved in shaping solutions that work for them.
Everyone has a role to play, but that responsibility must be matched with the resources, systems and support needed to make a difference.
So, who really owns climate resilience?

This is a powerful close to the series!
This conversation strongly aligns with what we are building at @Bannuu_A_Partnr with Greenpulse Fellowship 1.0.

As you rightly noted, community-based data matters and researchers must work beyond silos
🌍 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗜𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥.
The final session of the Green Webinar Series 2026 brought the conversation to communities; and the partnerships needed to help them prepare, respond and recover from climate challenges.
With Mariam Hamzat, Founder of TerraLearn, we explored:
▪️ What makes a community truly climate-resilient
▪️ Why governments, NGOs, researchers and communities must work beyond silos
▪️ Why community-based data matters
▪️ How young people can move from participation to meaningful contribution
▪️ Why local voices must shape local climate solutions
▪️ And why partnerships must be built to last beyond the lifespan of a project
One thing was clear: “resilience is not simply about surviving a crisis. It is about building communities that are equipped to face what comes next.”
Thank you to our speaker, our host Opeyemi Ogundeji, and everyone who joined the conversation throughout the series.
Four weeks. Many perspectives. One continuing conversation: “how do we move from awareness to action?”

African cities are growing fast. More people, more businesses, more buildings, more consumption.
But does growth have to mean more waste?
Can our cities expand, create opportunities and improve lives while building systems that reduce waste, support reuse and make responsible consumption easier?
