The Nation Newspaper Dawn Project opens 2024 competition
Dawn Project has announced launch of its annual climate change competition for 2024 with the theme – Oceans of Opportunity: Preserving Today for Tomorrow. The yearly programme, which addresses consequences of climate change, plastic pollution and ecosystem/biodiversity degradation kicked off at Landmark Beach Lagos.
Founder of The Dawn Project, Dr. Pamela Ajayi, reiterated the key goals of the 2024 competition. “The theme conveys the idea our oceans hold potential and opportunities. Oceans play essential role in the fight against climate change and creation of a sustainable future but it’s our responsibility to preserve them for future generations. Oceans are a cornerstone of the Earth’s climate system, serving as major carbon sinks and heat absorbers, thus helping regulate global temperatures.
Commissioner of Health in Lagos State, Prof Akin Abayomi, represented by Desmond Majekodunmi, delivered the first keynote address, hile the second was delivered by Mr. Johnny Baxter, British deputy high commissioner, represented by Kris Camponi, head of Missions at British Deputy High Commission. The Dawn Project debuted the first competition five years ago and has continued to push the agenda of fighting climate change and promoting a sustainable environmental consciousness. Aside from offering contestants the opportunity to express their ideas through their preferred creative mediums, it has also continued to raise the awareness level especially among the youths, about the danger that some of the seemingly innocent human actions and behaviour portend for the health of the world.
