The Director of Strategic Humanitarian Services of SHUMAS, Yaah Bilian, yesterday received a prestigious Nation Builders Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to climate change action and efforts aimed at mitigating its effects on humanity.
The award was presented during a special ceremony held at the Conference Hall of the Regional Delegation of Secondary Education in the North-West Region. The event brought together climate change advocates, media professionals, development partners, and members of the public who are committed to environmental protection and sustainable development.
The ceremony was organized by a group of climate change media practitioners under the leadership of Tamukong Roland, Publisher of World Echoes. The event was designed to recognize individuals and organizations making significant contributions to climate change awareness, environmental protection, and sustainable development.
Receiving the award is a remarkable achievement for SHUMAS, a non-governmental organization that has been at the forefront of environmental protection for nearly three decades. It is worth noting that SHUMAS began its first interventions in the area of environmental conservation and later expanded its activities to include renewable energy solutions. Through these initiatives, the organization has contributed significantly to improving livelihoods while promoting sustainable management of natural resources.
Over the years, SHUMAS has implemented numerous projects focused on tree planting, environmental education, renewable energy technologies, and climate resilience. These efforts have helped communities adapt to the challenges posed by climate change while protecting the environment for future generations.
One of the highlights of the occasion was the launch of a Climate Change Magazine, a publication of more than 60 pages dedicated entirely to climate change-related issues. The magazine features articles, reports, success stories, and expert opinions aimed at raising awareness and encouraging action to address climate change challenges.
Speaking during the event, participants emphasized the importance of collaboration among government institutions, civil society organizations, media professionals, and local communities in the fight against climate change. They also praised SHUMAS for its long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability and humanitarian development.
The Nation Builders Award serves as recognition of the dedication, vision, and hard work of Yaah Bilian and the entire SHUMAS team. It also highlights the critical role that organizations like SHUMAS play in promoting climate action and protecting vulnerable communities from the adverse effects of climate change.
As climate change continues to pose serious challenges across the globe, the recognition of SHUMAS and its leadership stands as an inspiration for individuals and organizations to continue investing in environmental protection and sustainable development for the benefit of humanity.
