Ready2Green Edo is a 'Green4Ward Edo' climate-smart development initiative created to activate Edo Eco-Citizens to accelerate community-based low carbon impact investment programs that profit the people and the planet.

This initiative is designed to deploy Real-time Intergenerational Green Growth Mechanisms that drive netzero climate positive opportunities through people-centric market driven eco-policy impact platforms to guarantee the first bankable Circular Economy and Fiscal Efficiency Strategy for Sustainable Development in Edo State.

Ready2Green Edo prioritizes and amplifies citizen-driven climate action as the most scalable approach to ensuring low-carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive economies.

The program prioritizes health of the planet and of the people, and regards these as interlinked. And brings attention to the fact that the green economy is interlinked with circular economy, encouraging the need for a shift to reduce consumption of natural resources to sustainable levels. As an inclusive economy incorporates and embraces modern models of economic development whose objective is to create prosperity within planetary boundaries.

Environmental responsiveness involves respecting the intrinsic value of nature and minimizing damage to the ecosystem.
