As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, Nigerian architecture student Ogbuagu Kelechi Uchamma has emerged as a compelling voice for climate action through CGTN's collaborative campaign "One Home: Shared Future." The Chongqing University graduate student combines academic rigor with lived experience, drawing attention to environmental disasters from Libya's deadly Storm Daniel to wildfires ravaging Türkiye and Greece.
"Living in China has reshaped my understanding of global interconnectedness," Uchamma told KhabarAsia.com. Her studies in sustainable architecture align with her advocacy, emphasizing that climate solutions require cross-border collaboration. She highlights how extreme weather patterns disproportionately affect developing nations while underscoring the shared responsibility of all countries.
The campaign amplifies youth perspectives ahead of critical UN climate negotiations, with Uchamma urging policymakers to prioritize long-term ecological preservation over short-term economic gains. "We're not just protecting ecosystems – we're safeguarding humanity's future," she asserted.
