Ruth Adaeze Chigbo

Ruth is taking us offline. As a student and climate advocate, internet access has been one of the major issues for the young woman from Nigeria. During her education, she has often been frustrated about having to study without the internet. When abroad, sometimes her data bundle runs out, and any materials not downloaded are of no use. That’s why the young changemaker is developing a learning app that works offline. CLIMALEARNACTION will be designed to help educate young people on climate issues, from the latest research to new ideas on how to combat emissions. It’s a creative, collaborative space that everyone can access, without the need to be continuously online. Ruth hopes she can drastically widen participation with her project. She knows: to fight climate change, we need everyone.
