Strategic Timing & Context
Why Now? Aligning with Oyo State Climate Action Plan (OYCAP 2026–2040)
Oyo State has entered a significant period of climate-policy development. The State published the Oyo State Climate Action Plan (OYCAP) 2026–2040 in August 2026, setting out a long-term framework addressing climate risks and identifying opportunities around resilience, green jobs, renewable energy, recycling, waste-to-energy, tree planting and climate finance.
ICW is designed to complement this policy direction by creating a practical civic and investment interface where ideas, evidence, communities, institutions and resources can connect.
