WikiForHumanRights campaign 2024: Creating Awareness of Environmental and Ocean Pollution in Ghana

In 2024, we embarked on a Wikimedia project for dubbed "WikiForHumanRights campaign".

WikiForHumanRights, aimed at ensuring universal access to information and the right to environmental health, we had the opportunity to contribute to its agenda by creating awareness of environmental and ocean pollution in Ghana.

This we did through a video and photo walk project.

The video documentary highlights the problems of pollution accompanied by a narration emphasizing its dangers to the planet and the people living in it. We also participated in a beach cleanup organized by the non-profit organization "Plastic Punch," where we produced a video interviewing volunteers to share their perspectives on the dangers of plastic pollution in the ocean and its impact on marine mammals.

The videos and images were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons under the "Awareness of Environment and Ocean Pollution in Ghana."

The WikiForHumanRights campaign addresses climate and environmental challenges to ensure universal access to information, advocating for the Right to a Healthy Environment essential for a sustainable future centered on human rights. This year's theme is Knowledge for a Sustainable Future.
