Sustainability Week Accra
Who We Are
Why Sustainability Week Accra
Accra—like many African cities—is on the frontlines of climate change and environmental degradation. Yet, it is also home to passionate youth and institutions ready to lead the charge for a sustainable future.
Sustainability Week Accra responds to the urgent need to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), circular economy practices, food system transformation, and the realities of climate change. By focusing on education for sustainability, we empower a generation to make informed decisions and adopt sustainable lifestyles.
What We Focus On
Climate Literacy
Educating students and communities about the impact of global warming and the importance of climate-smart action.
Food Systems & Nutrition
Promoting awareness of sustainable, healthy food choices and local food production.
Circular Economy
Championing reuse, zero-waste lifestyles, and responsible consumption on and off campus.
Student Innovation & Leadership
Supporting student-led projects and ideas that advance sustainability in their schools and communities.
Our Vision
From fossil fuel dependence to waste mismanagement and urban pollution, Africa’s sustainability challenges are interconnected and urgent. Our vision is to bring sustainability into the core of higher education institutions—so they can become living laboratories and role models for their communities.
By embedding sustainability into learning, collaboration, and daily campus life, we spark long-term systems change.
