Ghanaian journalist and climate advocate, Kofi Adu
Domfeh has joined a global community of trained Climate Reality Leaders already
working together to fight the climate crisis.
He has been honoured with the Green Ring Pin by Former
US Vice President Al Gore, Founder of The Climate Reality Project.
The Green Ring is awarded to Climate Reality Leaders
who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to their roles as climate
communicators and activists.
“The green ring pin is representative of your
participation within the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, and we hope that you
will wear it proudly whenever you are completing an Act of Leadership or
representing Climate Reality in your environmental advocacy work,” said a
statement of honour.
Domfeh was part of the Climate Reality Leadership
Corps Global Training, a virtual event to train attendees with practical skills
and knowledge to build an equitable and inclusive movement for climate action
and climate justice.
He says the training has empowered him to continue
to educate people and communities about the climate crisis.
“It is everyone’s responsibility to care for the
environment. The climate crisis can be tackled when all hands are on deck,”
said Domfeh. “We cannot relent in writing about climate change and its devastating
impacts; we will strive in educating and mobilizing people to take climate
action for a better, green, sustainable future”.
In response to COVID-19, Climate Reality moved
programming online to ensure that climate activists around the world could
participate in the movement for climate solutions safely and effectively.
More than 10,000 people signed up for the virtual
training, which included educational panel discussions, keynotes, and
presentations from world-class scientists, NGO, and business leaders, and
grassroots organizers.
Kofi Adu Domfeh is the Ghana Bureau Chief of Africa
Climate Reports and the Founder/Convener of CLAP Gh – Climate, Livelihood and
Agriculture Platform. The
environmental group mobilizes young professionals to become part of the
momentum created by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change to partner all
interest groups to share knowledge and take action.
He has now joined a network of more than 21,000
Climate Reality Leaders from 154 countries around the world, working together
to build public awareness of global climate challenges, share the good news
about the practical solutions in our hands today, and strengthen public support
for leaders at all levels of society, who are committed to climate action.
