Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke, a climate change expert, is a Professor in Environment and Development at University of Reading in UK, and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Development (CCCD) of the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike, Ikwo (AEFUNAI), Ebonyi State, Nigeria.
He is the Coordinator of a project titled “Promoting critical analysis of, and stakeholders’ engagement with the revision of Nigeria’s NDC,” which is being undertaken by the CCCD-AEFUNAI with support from the World Resources Institute (WRI).
While aimed at increasing public awareness of, and engagement with, Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the one-year project, according to Okereke, will help to widen the horizon of the discourse and compliment the current government led NDC revision process.
