How a Teen in Nigeria Turned a Dump into a Climate-Resilient Playground.
Today on Good News from Planet Earth, we meet Amara Nwuneli - a 17-year-old climate innovator from Lagos, Nigeria, who looked at a trash heap… and saw a playground.
Armed with imagination, recycled tires, and a bold vision for climate resilience, Amara transformed a flood-prone dump site into a vibrant community space that absorbs stormwater, prevents erosion, and gives local kids a safe place to play and learn.
Her project won The Earth Prize, sparked a movement for more green public spaces, and shows what’s possible when we turn waste into wonder.
Youth-led climate innovation

If you’ve ever doubted that one bold idea can reshape a community - and the climate future - this episode will change your mind.
This episode is narrated by Susie Valerio for Voiceover for the Planet.
