Vivacity Development Partners with OCCE to Host Side Event at UNGA 79
Engr. Oluwakemi Areola, CEO of Vivacity Development, has announced a timely side event set to take place at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York later this year. She made this announcement during her speech at the GTA event held at the Landmark Centre in Lagos on July 20, 2024.
In her address, Engr. Areola stated the reasons behind the need for the side event titled “Forging the Future: Unveiling Innovative Solutions for Work, Sustainability, and the Green Economy.” She emphasized the urgency of upskilling Nigerians for future jobs, noting that by 2030, at least 30 million jobs will become obsolete. She highlighted the critical need for initiatives that prepare the workforce for emerging opportunities.
Vivacity Development’s previous participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) held from November 30 to December 12, 2023, in Expo City, Dubai, was a remarkable success. Partnering with Uganda Airlines, Vivacity Development successfully sent a delegation from Nigeria and hosted a highly impactful Side Event titled “Climate Change Awareness: Nigeria’s Action Plan.” The event drew significant attention from over 80,000 international stakeholders, providing a global platform for discussing Nigeria’s climate strategies. Building on this momentum, Vivacity has conducted workshops at various Nigerian universities, educating youth on sustainability and the future of work.
Engr. Areola also announced a strategic partnership with the Office of the Special Adviser on Climate Change & Circular Economy (OCCE), led by Titi Oshodi. This collaboration aims to leverage the competence of OCCE in its bid to continue to unlock the potential of the circular economy by converting waste into resources, thus creating jobs, optimizing government spending, and reducing carbon emissions.
Vivacity Development remains dedicated to fostering a better world. This upcoming event at UNGA 79 will initiate critical conversations on addressing pressing global challenges such as food security, climate change, and social injustice.
