Enugu state government has announced the appointment of Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke as a special adviser on Climate Policy and Sustainable Development.

With the appointment, Okereke has been mandated to among other things, design and execute science-based climate policy for the state, with the goal of contributing to its long-term growth.

Okereke, an expert in climate governance, environmental policy, and international development, is regarded as one of Africa’s leading researchers in the fields of climate justice, low-carbon development, and green economic transition.

Also, he holds a chair in Global Governance and Public Policy at the prestigious School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol University, UK, and is also the director of the Centre for Climate Change and Development, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State.

Over the last 20 years, Okereke has maintained an extensive high-impact engagement with national governments, businesses, and NGOs in Africa and led several high-profile international projects on climate change policy, mainstreaming, and green economy transition in Africa.

Recall that he led the team that analysed the adaptation components of African Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for the African Development Bank under the direction of the Bank’s Climate and Green Growth Division.

Okereke was the founding project manager of the Rwandan Green Growth and Climate Resilience Project, which was said to be the first ever national low-carbon plan in Africa and is also a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, and a senior academic visitor at the University of Oxford.
