Q. Can you please introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Jennifer Uchendu, I am a sustainability communicator and analyst. I have a background in biochemistry but these days you would find me working around women development and environmental protection. I like to sleep in the daytime and I always wear my hair in burgundy.
Q. You are the founder of Sustyvibes; what do you do?
I manage the SustyVibes website as editor-in-chief as well as work with the team to develop projects that directly promote sustainable development in Nigeria. The question you would want to ask is what does SustyVibes do? As an evolving brand, we have a primary aim to increase sustainability discussions and participation among young people in Nigeria, simply put – we make the concept of sustainability trendy and hip for young people.
Q. Can you tell us about SDG and your involvement towards its achievement?
The Sustainable Development Goals replaced the Millennium Development Goals as the new blueprint for the world to run with for the next 14 years. They are ambitious and all point towards the importance of sustainability in achieving a better world.
For me, the SDGs present a perfect opportunity for me to preach sustainability, as it has now become critical for the world to think about sustainable development national development needed to prosper and thrive in an ever increasing and climate changing world. The SDGs are for the planet and for people, they are for the peace, prosperity and protection of our world and what is so interesting about them is how unique but yet interconnected they all are, they present some of the world’s biggest problems especially for a developing nation like ours and remind us of how we can all work together with the private sector and government to achieve true sustainable development.
