Rooted in Africa.
Growing a Greener World.
We restore degraded landscapes, defend ecosystems from pollution, and equip communities to thrive in a changing climate - starting in Nigeria and the Sahel, and growing outward.

A foundation dedicated to turning climate awareness into climate action.
We are climate advocates, committed to a greener healthier world through education and action.
Climate change is no longer a distant forecast. It's the shrinking harvest in the sahel, the polluted rivers in the Niger Delta, the burning heat in various houses and classrooms where our children are learning about a future their ecosystem may not support.
Climate and Green world foundation exists to address these realities.
We plant trees, We restore degraded lands and engage with communities, artisanal and farmers on the negative impacts of bush burning, charcoal production, crude and illegal refining of petroleum called (Oil bunkering) on our environment.
Our founder spent years working as a lone voice in the wilderness on these issues, before Formalizing the foundation in 2026.
Indeed, the vision is getting bigger, the numbers are growing larger and the enthusiasm is so palpable.
- Dr. Ike Anosike, Founder
Read our storyWE FIGHT AGAINST: Bunkering, Charcoal production and Deforestation
There's Marine Bunkering, which is stealing oil by ships. This is being dealt with by security companies like Tantita. We are concerned with "Local Bunkering" often referred to as illegal crude theft and its attendant Artisanal Refining.
People tap into oil pipelines or Well heads, siphone crude oil, move it through creeks in boats or barges, sell the crude to those who refine it locally into diesel, kerosene and petrol in makeshift refineries.

This is widespread in the Niger Delta and oil producing states due to poverty, unemployment, environmental damage, weak governance and conflict around oil wealth distribution.
Operations often involve networks of local youths, transporters, traders, armed groups and sometimes corrupt officials or security personnel.
The production process, which involves Bush or Kpofire refining of crude in makeshift ovens and drums, lacks safety standards and is very dangerous. Illegal refinery camps frequently cause explosions, oil spills, rivers, and health problems within the surrounding communities.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES.
- *Deforestation: large numbers of trees are cut down for cooking crude, especially mangroves in creek areas.
- *Loss of biodiversity, birds, fish nurseries and wetland species lose habitat.
- *Erosion: Mangroves that normally stabilise river banks and protect against flooding are destroyed.
- * Air Pollution, burning of crude and wood together, releases thick smoke and soot
- * Carbon emissions, both from the cooking of crude and the burning of wood, increase greenhouse gases.
- * Ecological Damage, spills and dumping of waste oil destroy vegetation, farmland, and aquatic life
Climate and Green World is responding through
Awareness
We create awareness through various media like newspaper, radio and social media. Involvement of chiefs and community leader. Enlightenment of youths and various groups and organisation.
Alternative Livelihood and Restoration
Promoting clean energy, sustainable farming, and leading tree planting campaigns to restore what has been lost.
Advocacy
Pushing for attitudinal change towards the environment. Advocating for various government actions and commitment towards the environment.
Honest numbers. Every tree we report is a tree in the ground.

Three pillars. One mission.
Restoring what was lost. Defending what remains.
Across Nigeria and the Sahel, decades of deforestation, oil pollution, illegal refining, and overgrazing have hollowed out landscapes that once supported abundant life. We work with communities, government agencies, and global partners to bring them back through tree-planting, urban greening, soil regeneration, and active defense against ongoing damage.
Explore our land workCommunities at the center.
Environmental work that ignores people fails. We invest in the women, men, farmers, and young people who live on the land through climate education, awareness sensitization, and dialogue that take local livelihoods seriously - while protecting the environment.
Explore our community workAction that cools the planet and holds the line.
We not only plant trees, we dissuade farmers from bush burning, and cutting of trees for firewood and enlighten communities on waste disposal and environmental best practices.

Five Reasons Climate Actors Should Choose Climate & Green World Foundation.
Rooted in Africa.
We work in Nigeria and the Sahel. Our partnership extends across borders to groups and individuals desirous of climate change action.
We tackle what others ignore.
We engage directly with oil bunkering, illegal refinning, and the felling of trees for firewood issues too critical to be ignored.
Community-first.
No project begins without the people who should be the direct beneficiaries.
Founder-led, mission-built.
Dr. Ike Anosike spent years on this work before the Foundation existed. The institution is new; the conviction is not.
Ambitious but honest.
We promise only what we can deliver, and we deliver on our promises.

On the ground where it counts.
Our programs operate across two of Africa's most ecologically pressured regions:
Nigeria
Where decades of oil extraction, illegal refining, urban expansion, and deforestation have left landscapes in urgent need of repair.
The Sahel
Where desertification, climate-driven drought, and shifting agricultural patterns are hollowing out the land that millions depend on.
We choose project sites based on three things: the scale of the need, the strength of local leadership, and our ability to deliver measurable change.

Field UpdatesClimate and Green World Foundation for World Environmental Day 2026
To mark World Environment Day, the Foundation organized a tree planting and environmental engagement exercise, with a radio public announcement and community activities.
Field UpdatesOur first planting season; So far, 600 trees have been planted.
Research & LearningWhy City Greening is Climate Action.
Africa's fastest-growing cities are losing green cover just as they need it most. We make the case for urban greening as a serious climate intervention.
We are committed to working with government agencies, international stakeholders, individuals, businesses, and grassroot organisations with focus on environment and climate change.
The Foundation is registered with Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and welcomes committed partners across all sectors. Partner logos displayed as partnerships are formalized.
