Transcorp Hilton, CODE Mark 2025 Earth Hour To Save Planet
Transcorp Hilton Abuja, in partnership with Connected Development (CODE), has committed to raising awareness about climate change and promoting practical sustainable living to achieve clean energy solutions.
They committed to commemorating Earth Hour 2025 at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja, on Saturday.
At the event, themed ‘Give an Hour for Earth,’ various environmental advocates were present, united by their commitment to saving and protecting the planet.
In his welcome address, the Manager of Transcorp Hilton Abuja, Mohammed Khali, highlighted the significance of Earth Hour in reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to sustainability.
“We observe Earth Hour alongside Hilton properties and millions worldwide in the fight against climate change.
“At Transcorp Hilton Abuja, sustainability is at the core of our operations, from waste recycling to energy conservation.
“We also appreciate our partnership with CODE in raising awareness on practical sustainable living,” Khali said.
The CEO of Connected Development (CODE), Hamzat Lawal while delivering the opening remark, stressed the significance of Earth Hour and its alignment with World Water Day.
Lawal emphasised the need to move from discussions to concrete climate action, promoting clean energy solutions, community empowerment, and sustainable practices.
“We reflect on our actions’ impact on the planet. We must work together to drive meaningful change for a sustainable future,” he urged.
A highlight of the event was a live demonstration by The Upcycling Architect (TUPA), showcasing the potential of plastic waste by creatively transforming discarded materials into functional and artistic pieces, including bags, bangles, and home décor items.
The communiqué from the event, shared on Monday, highlighted the significance of repurposing waste for environmental conservation.
Another engaging segment of the evening was a youth debate titled ‘Is Climate Change Good?’ featuring three secondary school students from Government Secondary Schools (GSS) Kubwa and Wuse.
The students presented contrasting viewpoints, with one side asserting that climate change is a devastating human-driven crisis, citing evidence such as rising temperatures and extreme weather events.
Some of the views maintain that climate change is a natural phenomenon and its predictive models are often inaccurate.
The debate highlighted the ongoing discourse around climate change, fostering critical thinking among young participants.
The event also featured sustainability pledges, where attendees committed to adopting environmentally friendly habits in their daily lives.
