Social influence, not information, is key to climate education

A thought-provoking piece from The Sun Nigeria argues that the greatest missing ingredient in climate education is not information but social influence. The article challenges the conventional focus on disseminating facts and figures, suggesting that peer and community dynamics may hold the key to driving climate action. This perspective could influence how educators and policymakers in Nigeria approach climate communication, shifting from information-heavy campaigns to strategies that leverage social networks and local influencers. The piece underscores the need to engage communities on a deeper, more relational level to foster lasting environmental stewardship.
